If Trump falls below 30% in Cali, that would imperil the 4 GOP congressional districts that were tight in 2018, CA-1, CA-4, CA-22 & CA-50.

We could expect a 50-3 delegation in 2021.

We need a million of those Democratic voters to move out to states that will get about 365 EV and a filibuster-proof Senate.  And the Democratic nominee would still get 60 percent of the vote in CA.

1 million well-meaning Dem Californians could bring home 12 (TWELVE) Senate seats in 2020
Wyoming, Alaska, both Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, West Virginia, Nebraska, Kansas, Arkansas and Iowa were all won by under 100,000 votes in 2014, and often far less.
Plus Alabama.

It's puzzling that nobody acts on this. A large segment of US voters appear very naive about how their democracy works.

Yeah, I wonder why there are so few people ready to leave everything they have behind, for a temporary boost to their political party. I don't think some people here get that the world is not at all similar to Atlas Forum members.

Registering in another state is just paperwork, and land in these states is cheap.
Millions of students make that tradeoff every year when they register.

"the world is not at all similar to Atlas Forum members" : irrelevant, since it would only take a million politically involved Californians owning a small plot of land in a red state and heading there just on Election Day to overcome the undemocratic Electoral College & Senate.

It may not be the most ethical solution, but if the current popular vote imbalance persists, the issue will come to a head one way or another.

As stated above, the idea of registering in a second state is so "jaw-droppingly ignorant" that on top of millions of students, even candidates running for office carry it out regularly.

It's also fascinating to see some people frame American electoral law as logical and consistent when it led to Bush being elected by 5 men on the Supreme Court and Trump rising to the presidency while losing the popular vote by 2M.

Moral pontificating aside, what's to stop such an idea? In what documents are conditions on residency or presence in order to obtain voting rights spelled out?

What are the conditions in California, for example, or Minnesota?
