I think it would be good for the nation in just the dividing up of the huge electorial vote that state gets. Either that or change it from a winner take all.
Anyway, you might end up with one or two healthy states and the rest basket cases. It might be sickiningly humorous to read whatever state constitutions those wackos come up with.
We might come up with more than two healthy states. Geographically, we're conservative - but we're outnumbered by the libs on the coast.
Thank you for bringing up electorial votes in connection with the idea of dividing California into smaller states FreeAtlanta. Note that the great political interest in electoral votes is based on controlling the popularly, but wrongly perceived powers of the federal government, as opposed to respecting the federal government's constitutionally limited powers. As a consequence of parents not making sure that their children are being taught the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, many voters are not aware of these limited powers.
