California's northern most counties are suffering from a lack of representation in the state Legislature. Twenty Northern California counties have 6 state level representatives, while the southern 38 counties have 114 state representatives.

That's not really true.

Six representatives are 5% of the 120 combined state representatives, while the population of those 20 northern counties is a little under 2 million, which is 5% of the almost 40mm state population.

That dog won't hunt.

Actually, when I run the numbers more closely it looks like the 20 northern counties are 4.85% of the state population, so they’re slightly overrepresented and have more voting power than actual voters.

California's northern most counties are suffering from communist tyranny!

There, fixed it!

I support their desire to form another state. Many of us in southern areas also share their desire.

Living in Southern California, but east of the coastal mountain range, we are also under represented, or at least oppressed by an overwhelming number of liberal legislators, both local, state and federal.

Support the State of Jefferson, and then help us with the State of Mojave!
