I have often thought of the same about more turn out in all states.
We were not created to be a true democracy because every true democracy before then imploded within a couple of generations. My understanding is that California has entire counties with no representation while LA County has something like 15 senators. If some corporation wants to something that would adversely affect the northern counties, (and only affect the northern counties) all the corporation has to do is buy off a few politicians from the coast. That is why I am against statewide referendums. If passage only affects rural areas, especially adversely, all I have to do is blanket the airwaves in urban areas with propaganda. I spent a couple of years at Travis near Vacaville. Most of the state reminds me of some third world countries I have been to.
all of the 4.5 million were in California.
