"The U.S. Constitution prohibits a ballot measure that would trump a state
legislature's chosen method of appointing electors. In Article II, Section 1,
the Constitution declares that electors shall be appointed by states 'in such
manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.' That's legislature."
This is good news for Democrats not only in the golden state, but across the country. California is after all the work horse of electoral votes for Democrats. The legislature is now in the hands of the Democrats, and under the current political environment that doesn't seem likely to change. If it does though, this could come back, since the legislature would be able to make this change.
