No they don't as a matter of law or policy. It would be a violation of federal law and the Constitution.
I have no doubt that Hillary would have run up a huge cushion among only legal voters in CA. The demographics of CA today will be those of the US in 2050.
According to 2015 US Census Bureau estimates, California's population was 72.9% White, 6.5% Black or African American, 14.7% Asian, 1.7% American Indian, 0.5% Pacific Islander and 3.8% from two or more races. By ethnicity, 38.8% of the total population is Hispanic-Latino (of any race) and 61.4% Non-Hispanic (of any race). Hispanics are the largest ethnic group in California.
As of 2015, California has the largest minority population in the United States. Non-Hispanic whites decreased from about 76.3 - 78% of the state's population in 1970 to 38.0% in 2015. While the population of minorities accounts for 100.7 million of 300 million U.S. residents, 20% of the national total live in California.
Throw the California votes out, even the Republican votes, and you'll get much closer to parity.
The problem is that you can't confine the Hispanic vote to CA. NV and CO are probably lost in any future election. AZ is being lost as well. Immigration is affecting electoral politics nationwide.
Also, whites are still going to be the single largest voting group for decades to come. Smaller but NOT a minority. When and if they dip below 50%, they'll still be a larger block than blacks or Hispanics, Asians, etc.
The non-Hispanic white population is projected to peak in 2024, at 199.6 million, up from 197.8 million in 2012. Unlike other race or ethnic groups, however, its population is projected to slowly decrease, falling by nearly 20.6 million from 2024 to 2060.
Meanwhile, the Hispanic population would more than double, from 53.3 million in 2012 to 128.8 million in 2060. Consequently, by the end of the period, nearly one in three U.S. residents would be Hispanic, up from about one in six today.
The black population is expected to increase from 41.2 million to 61.8 million over the same period. Its share of the total population would rise slightly, from 13.1 percent in 2012 to 14.7 percent in 2060.
The Asian population is projected to more than double, from 15.9 million in 2012 to 34.4 million in 2060, with its share of nation's total population climbing from 5.1 percent to 8.2 percent in the same period.
The U.S. is projected to become a majority-minority nation for the first time in 2043. While the non-Hispanic white population will remain the largest single group, no group will make up a majority.
All in all, minorities, now 37 percent of the U.S. population, are projected to comprise 57 percent of the population in 2060. (Minorities consist of all but the single-race, non-Hispanic white population.) The total minority population would more than double, from 116.2 million to 241.3 million over the period.
In this past election, Trump won the white vote and did better with Blacks and Latinos then Romney did.
The Reps have been winning the white vote for decades. The problem is that the white vote is getting smaller requiring a larger percentage of whites to win elections. Romney received 59% of the white vote. Trump won 57%.
Trump won 8% of the black vote, 28% of the Latino vote, and 27% of the Asian vote. Romney received 6% of the black vote, 27% of the Latino vote, and 26% of the Asian vote. Given the rapidly changing demography of this country, these are not winning numbers in the long term.

True immigration reform cannot come fast enough. It is a big reason for my Trump vote.?
We have Sessions and Kobach. You couldn't pick two better people when it comes to immigration. It is why I selected Trump from almost the day he announced his candidacy.
