News Article: Initiative to break California into 3 states to go on November ballot
- Thread starter RollTide_HTTR
- Start date
The funniest thing about this is there is no real way it happens. Dems don't want to lose California's electoral votes and Republicans don't want more Dem senate seats.
Electoral votes would probably increase overall since there would be 6 senators instead of 2
Unless the states are SoCal, Bay Area, and Farmland, Democrats will still control it.
The "Southern California" state would likely still be Dem leaning but not as strongly as California currently does.
To me, with the proposed set-up, the three Californias would still heavily lean Democrat. The only toss ups would be including the desert and farmers in "Southern California" and the libertarian-types in extreme Northern California. But, the numbers in LA and the Bay Area should drown them out.
I think LA would be in the "New California" not "Southern California". Though San Diego would still be in Southern California.
Just to clarify what I'm saying. I don't think Southern California would be a Red state or anything close. It simply would have a higher chance of flipping in a given election and politicians are risk adverse.
Obviously, there are various other issues involved with splitting a state into 3.
Three nuts instead of one. Great!

It would never happen though I'd love to see it.
For nothing else then to be able to see some of the inner workings of the Constitution
Plus it would really be interesting to see how the agricultural tax base creates wealth in what are now traditionally poor areas.....when you don't have to take care of the dead weight in LA and the Bay Area.

Judge strikes measure off ballot.

It was an environmental group that filed the lawsuit to remove it from the ballet, of course because they ruin everything.
People scared to let the people vote on it because just maybe it would pass?
I just really wanted to see what the result would have been.

Heard that this morning. And good. Cali is full of idiots. Best we keep them in one spot.

That stinks. I was hoping they would actually vote this thru and then watch as it ends up screwing them over.
