Depends. Does this add two more dim or gop sinators?

Here is a prober link to the article.
proper, not prober...
Might be an improvement. Hard to know for sure.
Wrong breakup
Should be in two.
Central coast counties = West California
Everything else = East California.
Uh, if it splits into 3 states, it will add 4 more Senators. 2 for each added state.
At this rate, four more Dems.
True, but I’m thinking this will only happen if it benefits dims. No way this would ever happen if the gop gained sinators.
It appears to create a Northern California, Southern Coastal California and a Southern Inland California. The inland california might *might* turn Republican while the other two are almost guaranteed to be Democrat so I can see perhaps four more Democrat senators but also the potential to bite into that 55+ electoral vote monolith if enough inland voters choose a Republican presidential candidate.
Maybe some of you non Californians should imagine what it’s like for us to truly be 100% disenfranchised? If this helps, I am for it. I will sell property in the leftist state before they thoroughly screw it up and move to the state with some brains.
Damn I can hardly wait till Oklahoma splits into five states.
Many of us hear you.
Plenty of us are ruled by commie-ridden cities supported by welfare queen voters who vote one way. Even if the geographical majority is conservative, the cities outweigh us.
77 counties in Oklahoma. 154 senators! Yippee
Probably two more democrats plus two neo-Stalinists if they build a state around Berkeley and the bay area.
I would think that this plan would net 3 demonrat and 3 Republican Senators.
It would, as has been mentioned above break up the 55 EV monster in presidential elections which would be a good thing.
But, because it would be good for the country, I doubt the demonrats will let it happen
I don't see a down side to breaking California up. However you slice it, we get some electoral votes from some of what used to be California, instead of losing them all.
Everything North and East of Monterey County would be Norcal, and most certainly 2 Dim Senators. The Entire Bay area combined with Sacramento County would have more population than the rest of the Counties combined.
The to combine Monterey County with everything south to LA county would ALSO be 100% Dim and two new Dim Senators.
Only the SoCal division has a chance of being Red.
Thanks for correction
Have an idea for the NEW STATE NAMES...
Mexifornia 1
Mexifornia 2
Mexifornia ?
