With 12% of the U.S. now residing there, California would have about 65 electoral votes if it was just based on population. Article I of The Constitution mandates a Census every 10 years --- the next one will be in 2010. Census results have tremendous implications across government, including how Congressional Representatives are allocated across the states. Since each state has Electoral Votes equal to their Representatives (plus 2 for their Senators), the Electoral Map will change for 2012. </p>
