Wait a minute, now. NEW CALIFORNIA would get the 2 new votes. OLD CALIFORNIA would lose a lot of its House votes. If New California is as constitutional and conservative as they claim to be, this could be a win for the country, IMO.
Looks to me like that coast line is the more populated area of the state. If they were so conservative, you'd think California would be conservative.
Looks to me from the chart below that Old California would be the conservative piece, except they left San Francisco in Old California, and San Francisco is the 2nd highest density population center after Los Angeles.
Actually, it looks like San Francisco is in the New California. But I don’t trust the mixture of counties in Old California to remain Conservative.
