California needs to be divided into 3 states

NY two.

There was a vote in 1860-1865 that settled most of these issues.

CHICAGO and ILLINOIS

Same with NY. BOTH have large red areas, who are out voted by a few counties.

Washington State as well. East of the cascades it’s conservative. West of the cascades very liberal. Just at a cultural level they have nothing in common.

You’d be giving CA SIX Demonrat Senators and maybe a 50/50 chance one of the upstate NY Senators would be a Republican.

Re: “California needs to be divided into 3 states.”

Not helpful.

Current Congressional Districts - 85% Democrat

2016 Presidential Election:

Clinton - 62%

Trump - 32%

The best we can hope for with three new states would be a half dozen new Congressional RINOS - like GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
