And how many Democrat US senators would that create?
exactly
Enough to make them a permanent majority in the US Senate. Otherwise nobody would give this a second thought. Sandy Fluke might make it back to Wash DC sooner than I thought....
Based on a quick look at his proposed borders, without crunching the election return numbers, I think this would create three blue states, one red state and two purple states.

Having lived all 55 of my years in California I have some insite. The Orange, Red and Blue areas of the map would most likely break Republican. The yellow area would be a toss up and the Green + Purple areas Dead Zones.
Actually, this plan could slightly reduce Democrat hegemony.
Jefferson would elect 2 Republicans routinely.
North California would elect 2 Dems routinely.
Silicon Valley: 2 Dems.
Central California: 2 Republicans.
West California: obviously 2 Dems.
South California: 2 Republicans ... but not as reliably.
That’s 6 Senators for each party — parity.
Not saying I’m in favor of this never-gonna-pass-anyway plan, but it probably would NOT further pad Democratic representation in the US Senate, and IMO would reduce it slightly.
6 bankruptcies for the price of one. Brilliant!

Would all be Democrat from this way of divvying it up?
