Ridiculous map...the Bay Area, Sacramento and Greater LA should be “Progfornia.” There is no way in hell the Bay Area and Sacto should be joined with Jefferson to the north. That guarantees “Northern California” would have two extreme leftist Senators. Absolute non-starter.
There is no way the rest of the country would go along with this proposal. Unless, maybe, you split Illinois into two states, Chicago one and the rest of Illinois two. The same for New York and maybe Ohio and Pennsylvania.
There is no way to split these areas. Take Ohio, no one in a conservative area would wish to be stranded in a DimLib hellhole. If you lived in the mostly conservative Cuyahoga Valley there is no way you will vote to be part of a new state dominated by Cleveland.
With the right borders, two new California states would have 4 GOP Senators.
Dream on - Democrats in Sacramento will never accede to a scheme that would dilute their power and their votes even if Congress were to consent to it.
From that perspective, its already DOA.
