Senators are there to allow equal representation in states which don't have large populations.

Likewise, in California, the majority of the state is conservative with the exception of SF, LA and areas around Tahoe. These three areas tend to place the state as a "Democratic plum" while leaving the rest of the state unrepresented. An interesting aside, LA steals the majority of their water from those unrepresented areas.

Fortunatly, the US Constitution leaves much of this up to the states. If a bill passes, such as described, then it is legal and done through legal means according to the California Constitution. Especially in light of it being a ballot measure which allows direct vote on the subject by Californians (no illegal alien votes, yet. Despite continual Democratic tries at that). How more direct to the people can you get? I don't see any theft involved. Chances of it occuring in CA though are slim to none in light of the hugely Democratic State Legislature and the willingness of several Democratic Judges to legislate from the bench and do away with anything they, or their party, disagree with (with regard to ballot measures that have won).
