As a resident of the state, I would actually support this.
However considering how things go out here, if I support it, that means it will be voted down.
Just saying.
This could be a political boon for Democrats.
Why? Because instead of 2 senators from California, there would be 12 senators from what is now California.
Currently both senators are Democrat. But in adding new states, adding 10 more senators, it’s likely that 6 or 7 of these new senators would be Democrats.
Traditionally, some areas of SoCal like Orange Country and San Diego, have traditionally been more Christian influenced and right leaning.
SF, LA, & San Diego will be “Detroit†broke.
The other states will never consent to creating 10 new senators without some sort of Missouri compromise offset. Break up Texas?
so the Liberal wackos in Silicon Valley and San Fran and LA flood us with immigrants and then want to leave San Diego to deal with the immigrant problem alone? Fine, we’ll be happy to bus them to The Presidio. Get ready.
Splitting liberal states is actually a good way to nullify the urban areas and their undue influence.
This idea has been floated for decades and nothing ever comes of it (not the “6” thing, but definitely splitting that state up).
earth quake...... the big’un
That’s all we need—10 more senators from the left coast. No thanks!
And the moocher class would cross the new borders to mooch from the producers.
Just like now.
The Trouble with Tribbles...
One is bad enough but six of them?????

12 Senators. What could possibly go wrong?
We are 5th generation So. Californians and draper can take his 6 states and shove them up his backide!
Congress would never allow it anyway, it would give California 8 more Senators.

They are not divided exactly how I would like them. Mendicino, Humbolt and Lake absolutely should not be in “Jefferson”, the spoil it and make it competitive, they belong with the Bay Area.
3 of these states are competitive and 3 heavily rat, that’s no good at all.Interesting post from Dave Leip. POTUS results for the 6 Calis.
