Secede! Start your own country. Apportion representatives the way you see fit. It worked for the other 49 (56). Other than that, quit your bitchin’.
It would help chip away at the electoral juggernaut that is liberal Kalifornication.
I said earlier that Calexit would give Northern Cal an opening to split Cal in two.
As noted in the article, this would not be a secession from the Union but merely a split of one state into two, and would be highly beneficial to those of us who value the nation as founded (the 53 percent, so to speak). The apportionments noted would also be at state level, not federal level, which the state could do as it wished. I wish them luck in the endeavor.
Forming news states is not the answer. In a while, those new states will be over-run with Libs and they will be back in the same situation, except that the Libs would have 2 more Senators and several more Reps.
It is sort of like foreigners coming to America to get away from the hellholes they leave behind. Once here, they spend their lives making the area were they live into the same kind of hellholes they left years earlier.
Forming new states from existing ones is unconstitutional. You FReepers should know this.
It would give the GOP 3 to 4 electoral votes on the Left Coast.
The plus is it would shrink the SF/LA stranglehold on the Electoral College.
Win-Win. And of course if DC was admitted as a city state long with Jefferson it would not upset the political balance of power in Washington.
Or maybe not. Two populous Republican counties balance out two populous Democrat counties and Southern Oregon is also Republican.
Still, when you look at what fleeing Californians are doing to the rest of the Western states, you can't discount the possibility that they'd do the same thing to "Jefferson."
And would they really call the new state "Jefferson"?
