I like to imagine California voting to leave, and Jefferson pulling a West Virginia and breaking off as a result, and thus we'd replace a Leftist state with a conservative one.

US Constitution, Article IV, Section 3.
New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.

Continuing the Civil War metaphor: Pulling a West Virgina would be great, but I fear they may end up being like Eastern Tennessee.
Nevertheless, I wish them well. Very well.

I would prefer that the entire state split into East and West. West California being the coastal counties from Los Angeles to Marin. East California being everything else.

I like to imagine California voting to leave
I wouldn't. The idea that California - the richest state in the union - can be taken away by a gaggle of liberals in the SF Bay Area and LA is outrageous. California doesn't get that option. It must and will stay in the union - but will hopefully be broken up into several smaller states which can more fully reflect the wishes of their respective areas.

REPEAL TINY STATES
Repeal Rhode Island and other tiny states who just live off OPM. Give it to Jefferson state.

Maybe we need an Electoral College system of elections for the states. Many states have the same problems with the heavily populated cities, mostly socialistic, having enough votes to determine political policies for every one. Most of the time, politicians know they only need the majority votes of the cities to win and do not regard other parts of the state.

I’m originally from California. During my childhood, most of the state was very much like “Jefferson.” What a sad change over the past 30 years.

I could see this happening to keep the current ‘balance’ if Puerto Rico goes forward with the recent trend toward requesting statehood.
