Oh, right, even better, let the inland red counties secede from CA, for a new state (East CA I guess), and give us 2 more senators plus an added electoral advantage!
Virginia seceded, and the area of West Virginia did not. Instant new state.
Yes, this would be appropriate for California. Let the large cities and illegals demand secession (you can bet a lot of illegal La Raza will vote for secession). Create East California out of the area not seceding, and then go in, occupy, and name the remaining West California.
