Using the proposed county groupings for NorCal, Cal, and SoCal in the initiative, and using the 2016 Presidential election results as a proxy of how each state would vote for a Senator, we would end up with 6 Kamala Harris type Progressives in the Senate. And while some are hoping that this measure might strip off some Electoral votes for the GOP candidate, that won’t happen either - in fact the Dems would end up with 4 more EVs.

2016 Presidential Election results by proposed “3Cal Split”:

Nor Cal: Clinton 3,402,343 - Trump 1,464,637
Cal: Clinton 2,934,624 - Trump 1,057,331
So Cal: Clinton 2,413,666 - Trump 1,957,594

It’s a definite NO vote from me.

... because we all know California can’t succeed.

Maybe California can be succeeded by something better? Lex Luther’s plan to make everything west of San Andrea’s looks better by the minute.

Lex may be evil but he ain’t stupid....................
