This reminds me of people who like to play make believe and say stuff like "Except for those three 50 yard td runs our defense was pretty good".

I have never understood why people think they can prove a point by eliminating facts that don't agree with their opinion.  What difference would it make if California was split into 4 different states and everyone still voted the same?  Would their votes still not count?

They do count. In California. 

The difference would be then they would be their own separate States with their own State Constitutions and governments. We aren't a single mass of a country. We are 50 States that are united but still separate entities in many ways. One State feeling extra extra strongly about something doesn't make a difference compared to if they just felt normally strong about something.
