SACRAMENTO (AP) — California Republicans are bracing for what could be a brutal election year, but they're also looking to the future. With the party's voter registration continuing to fall, Republicans face redrawn electoral districts this year that are likely to further weaken their status in the state Legislature and could lead to less clout in Congress. Even so, the party is aiming to put on a positive face at its spring convention this weekend in Burlingame, where communicating its principles and reaching out to new voters will be the official focus.
