That would give Dems 10 MORE SENATORS!!
Yep, the CA ComDems see the handwriting on the wall and want to pack the Senate to try and maintain control. They know the consequences of loosing the Senate. The whole House of Cards and Lies will fall apart.
Not sure this would give the Dems 10 more Senators. I don’t know much about the geographic breakdown of California politics, but I’m fairly certain the proposed states of Jefferson and Central California would be solidly Republican.
Just as the UN is loaded with little communist despots, all voting the party line....
No. The ‘Rats have a complete hold on the Senate in CA because the rest of the state can’t overcome LA and SF. Look at a map of the current Congressional delegation. Presuming the state-wide races in the new states followed the bulk of the congressional races in the same areas, Jefferson, Central CA, and South CA would most likely elect GOP senators, Silicon Valley and Western CA would elect ‘Rats, and Northern CA would probably lean to the ‘Rats but would be competitive.
The plan would actually improve the partisan composition of the Senate.
Comparing the county maps from the 2004 Presidential election give the same picture, though Obama did better in 2008 and 2012 and would have lost Jefferson, and maybe Central CA, and carried the other four. Still, with a little work, for the future, it would also shift the electoral college to the right.
