Sheer lunacy.
Get the Conservative parts of the state free and clear of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Marin County...
I think this gives the dims 2 to 4 additional sinators. Not a fan.
I thought the coastal rat region was going to secede? And good riddance too.
Looks like Kalefornia wants 6 Democrat Senators instead of two. They are also gerrymandering the population to re-balance the house. Not even remotely reasonable. On the otherhand, if we disband California and make it three territories with no votes in national politics....
Expel the illegals and get rid of Gov. Moonbeam 2.0, and this idea would have even less support than it does today.

Nor would I. What happened to Jefferson? Those counties sure as heck want nothing to do with the Bay area liberal ones.
Exclude San Fran And LA from “Northern California”, and keep them in California and i would be okay with it.
Agree. Not how I would do it either. How come they did not ask us Ben?
I agree, sheer lunacy. Northern California aside from the liberal Democrat San Francisco Bay Area coast and corridor to Sacramento, is conservative and some would say redneck. Upper and inland Northern California has nothing in common with San Francisco. Upper Northern California needs to be its own state, apart from San Francisco Bay Area.
On that proposed plan of Northern California, California and Southern California, the SF Bay Area should be combined with the (new) California region including the coast to Los Angeles. The rest of the (new) Northern California should be combined with the (new) Southern California to become (a new) East California, or become a separate state. That would make more sense if you're dividing the state into two or three parts. Some would say that old California should be divided into four to six parts, and that would also make sense.
This ballot initiative is doomed to failure.
Looking for advantage in Lib Senate count.
Would add 1 or 2 Lib Senators.
Me either. I was hoping for secession, then secession from the seceded California itself back into the U.S. to leave the coast all by itself.
Three states huh!!!!
(1 Conservative
(2 Liberal
(3 Mexican
That is a good idea. Then when the big earthquake hits there will be three sets of hand being held out for $$$$ from the rest of the Republic to rebuild them.
I do not see this happening:
Article 4 Section 3 US Constitution
