Trump would have won popular vote and beaten Romney's overall count, if californian democrats did not rig the senate candidate rules. Also if Evan Mcmullin didn't compete as strongly in utah.

With the fact that Trump's voter turnout was up everywhere else with the exception of utah because of Evan Mcmullin, california's candidate ballot rules definitely hurt Trump.

Another theory could be that most californians were high on election day.:think:
