GOP maneuvers to change take-all system - Martin Frost - Politico.com
I guess they're tired of Hollywood and Berkeley hogging all the electoral votes, and hence, not getting their fair share of all the votes. California has been traditionally a 'blue state' but only because all the metropolitan areas, like Los Angeles and San Francisco, vote for Democrats. If you look at a map, most of California, geographically speaking, votes Republican. However, a lot of people live in the metropolitan areas.
