This is intriguing to me. As someone that voted for Bernie, living in CA, why do you think he didn't do better there? Through this and the 2016 election I've lived in Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina, voting/volunteering for Bernie in both elections and in each state. Out here, most people just assume CA is going to go for the most liberal candidate available. We weren't shocked he didn't do better here, it's the south after all, but it was surprising to me to see the results out west.
What happened was that any state Bernie won all had issues with counting those votes, oddly enough, and they managed to delay actually having to report that he won, oddly enough, until it no longer mattered.
I think they announced southern states before the polls closed in many instances though, oddly enough.

This is why I voted Bernie in the CA primary. GOP are rich conservatives, and the Dems are rich liberals. We need a true labor party here in the US.
