Split the state into EAST CALIFORNIA and WEST CALIFORNIA and you won't have to worry about having your electoral votes being misappropriated by those living on the coast. Same for your tax dollars bailing out those on the shore who refuse to get homeowners' insurance.
Can't do it without the approval of Congress.
Just section off that small strip along the ocean that is colored blue right now and let it be it's own state. The same with a lot of blue America. New York is red except for Manhatten and a few blue cities, PA is a sea of red except for the large cities. Time for them to be their own states.
