What's the point of singling out California? Yes, California went overwhelmingly for Clinton, as did New York and Illinois. Are the voters in those states any less valid than those in Wyoming, who went even  more for Trump than California did for Clinton? A vote by any American is an American vote. Trump won the votes he needed to win the electoral college, which overvalues voters in Wyoming and undervalues voters in big states, but he lost the popular vote by millions of American votes.
