A better idea would be to spit California into two possibly 3 seperate states.
3 states would have the advantage of the states that are more conservative would border Mexico and California.
Also the EC would favor the two new Blue states.:)
East California (Roughly LA-San fran West of I-5)
North East California (Roughly everything East of I-5 and the norht of Fresno? Would also include the western coastline above San Fran)
South East California (everything left to the south of Fresno)
I call it..California: The 3 State Solution.
