21. send 34 from Texas and 28 from florida

California won't send 52 dems. But texas and florida could send pure red delegations.

And that's assuming all goes well. Let's hypothetically put troops outside each polling station in a blue area... fer "security", yaknow... and see what that does to the results.

Or declare a state of emergency on election day with patrols in the streets of cities. Because your concerned about "mobs of violent rioters"

Then you make it mandatory to register to vote at least 2 months before an election, and purge voters rolls a month before the election. And maybe you use the justice department to harass potential candidates, and then jail/disqualify a few more as the process continues. Etc

Russia has "elections" too.
