last poll showed that 72% of the population is saying no and even if it pulled off a miracle and somehow made it congress would still shoot down the idea and keep it as one state. that's assuming it would even make it to congress though and wouldn't get shot down before that in court since there would be a legal battle over whether or not having a simple majority in a proposition constitutes as having the majority of the states congress voting in favor of it.

basically don't get your hopes up

it's tim drapers wet dream and he's been trying to ram this through the proposition system for almost 10 years.

he was finally able to get 1% of the population to sign his petition so now we have to vote on it

Yeah, let's build a wall around the most important state in the USA

I’d be really surprised if such a thing ever went through.

Let the Earthquakes separate LA off from the mainland, and then run it as some sort of Mad Max/Alcatraz prison.

I doubt the current Republican controlled senate would accept this plan in a million years because the borders are drawn in such a way that the Democratic Party would automatically gain +6 senate seats.

I was gonna say, is all of California a blue state? I was wondering if any gerrymandering was being slipped through on how the borders were suggested, but I don't know enough about the political climate there apart from California being some sort of hippie-liberal-nightmare-paradise place.

No, I think NorCal has a slightly heavier Republican presence. The idea in Southern Oregon for a "State of Jefferson" is where Southern Oregon and NorCal form into a new state because "the liberals control everything."

Just like the State of Jefferson dream though, this will be laughably be killed off. As said before, the Democrats would just end up with more seats.

nope, the proposed "southern California" would be republican and the "northern California" would be a mixed bag, it's senators would probably still be democratic, but last i heard the redistricting would throw a lot of house seats up for grabs and you could end up getting a lot more republicans in the house.

the real purpose behind it though is to try and put hurt on the entire region and plunge it into chaos as the three californias would likely spend the next few decades fighting each other and trying to sort everything, not to mention the economic hit the states would take from having all of the industries split up.

Don't worry, in about 50 million years or so Los Angeles will be up near Alaska.
