In my best Oprah voice:

“And YOU get a bullet train! And YOU get a bullet Train! and YOU....”

[Pajamajan]

Six Cali’s no way. We only need two- East California and West California. The east would be red, the west would be blue.

[TheDon]

I would be quite happy to fire the Sacramento Tyrants.

[tanknetter]

Soon enough it will all be Mexico/Aztlan!

You know, apart from Texas, Arizona and a couple other states, I'm not sure I'd mind a map that looks like that.

Would LOVE to see CA and NM Liberals forced to live as citizens of Mexico ...

[plain talk]

All of this is academic nonsense.. but for the sake of argument I find it hard to believe that liberals (that run California) would allow a split to occur that gives pubs half or more of the new states. Maybe their gerrymandering work is not complete yet. :-)

[Logical me]

California is a shi! hole of communists Democrats in the most populace areas. The rest of the State have more conservative thinkers. But the split is crazy. Like America, California will be a ghost of a State and damn poor. Any real conservative American will just get the hell out of the State.

[PubliusMM]

Based on the distribution shown, it sounds like a grand idea. I’d like to see Ohio broken into three states, and Illinois into two. PA should be three. NY should be at least two. VA should be two, also.

The added Congressional headcount would add to the Electoral Vote count, and the new distribution would better represent areas currently under-represented in presidential elections.

This is NOT a bad thing.

california has become a de facto suburb of tijuana.

[Oliviaforever]

I say make every county is the US a state and thus create 3144 states, 6288 US Senators and 9432 Congressmen.

They would be paralyzed and could do nothing.

[PTBAA]

This could be offset by turning New England into one state. New England is a lost cause so let’s reduce the number of Democrat senators from 11.5 to 2 (Ayotte is a democrat in any conservative state).

[DJ Taylor]

We don’t need ten more Diane Feinsteins or Barbara Boxers.

[kingattax]

please repeat after me :

ANYTHING a loony lefty proposes is never ever ever a good thing. there is always a hidden hook in the worm and being smarter than a fish i will never ever ever forget that.

thank you.

[Kackikat]

lol I couldn’t agree more.

[kingattax]

i would prefer to trade new england to canada for their western provinces.

[CyberAnt]

3 states might be okay .. but I’m not for 6 at all.

[CyberAnt]

It might help if you identified the major cities in each section.

The sections that get SF and LA will have a possible advantage.

That’s why it should be North, South and Central. More than enough.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Would all be Democrat from this way of divvying it up?

[P-Marlowe]

On second thought the yellow area would break Dead Zone, so it would be about a 6/6 split in Senators.

Exactly. I'm all for this. I would have the opportunity to have 2 Republican senators and a fiscally responsible state government.

California has 1/10 of the population of the country and 1/50th of the Senators. Not everyone in California is a liberal. FWIW, California has more conservatives living in it than most of the red states (outside of Texas) combined.

[Terry L Smith]

Remember, children:
“As California goes, so goes the nation!”

I support the reapportionment plan.
Keep the Dem’s in certain areas, outnumbered by the Libertarians!

What happens if the farmers in the central valley cut off LA’s water?
