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

Wrong breakup
Should be in two.
Central coast counties = West California
Everything else = East California.
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.
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.
Totally sucks, San Francisco will rule one third, LA another and San Diego the third
Zero change, more feeders at the trough.
I’m for the state of Jefferson movement as it would actually free the conservative countys from democrap rule.
I sure some would like to rid themselves of the pension debt costly prisons and desert areas. Keep the coasts, built up infrastructure and high revenue areas.
I don’t want 4 more California Senators.
Doesn’t the rest of the country have a say on whether CA can have 4 more senators?
Why can’t TX have 6, or 8, or 10 senators?
Senators have too much power concentrated in one (hu)man. Get the ratio down to something more like at the level of, say, the mid-20th century. The 5 boroughs of New York City as one “State-sized”unit, with the rest of the state as another. No change in Congressional Districts. Do the same for Chicago, Atlanta, L. A., San Francisco, Boston, DFW, Detroit. Let the people in fly-over country have a say. Dilute the city-dweller influence on the deliberative branch. They already have enough in the budgeteering branch.
A better idea would be to kick the San Francisco, Sacramento and Los Angeles areas out of the country. If you could add Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, New York City and all of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont and Rhode Island it would be even better. Give them to Canada or let them be quasi-independent states.
