Are you old enuff 2 remember when Ike appointed the wildly popular Governor of CA to the Supremes? He lead that court to modify how representation within one of the two houses of each state's legislature is established. One house was based on demography, the other on geography! With the infamous "Cows Don't Vote" or "One Man, One Vote" decision he and his court set the stage for total domination of every state's rural regions by metro-sexuals!
For instance, as you were pointing out... My county is represented by one state Senator that we must share with 13 other rural countys. Los Angeles County, on the other hand has 13 state Senators and totally dominates that house of the legislature.
If our national legislature were screwed up this way, then 10 western states would only have 2 votes in the US Senate!!!
I share your desire for spliting CA, but rescinding this stupid tampering with what worked for nearly 200 years would be a good start!!!

I never thought of it that way. Excellent illustration of the absurdity.
State of Jefferson!
