After we admit Puerto Rico, I saw we make it an even 52 states by making California into 2 states - Northern California and Southern California.
An overwhelming number of our public school graduates think the U.S. has 52 states anyway..........
northern california is actually conservative right?...not a bad idea if there must be compromise...but i hope neither one happens
dems are just looking for more voters especially now that they see their power is going to be challenged this november
we may as well figure out how to get to 57 states since we have a POTUS who thinks we have that many
California tried to split into two states in 1860. Lincoln decided it was not in the best interest of the US as SoCal leaned to the Confederacy. He vetoed the legislation
California should be split into 5 states, one in the Bay Area, one in L.A. County, one in San Diego, Imperial and Orange Counties, one in the Inland Empire, Kern, Ventura and other coastal areas, and one in the Central Valley all the way up to the Oregon border. The 5 states would combine to elect 6 GOP Senators and 4 Democrat Senators and cast a majority of electoral votes for the GOP presidential candidate.
Some think there are 57.
