Plan to Split California into Three States May be on Next Ballot

Legal Insurrection  Looks like the blue part gets the worst of it.

"A sign that not all Californians are represented by Sacramento."

"My home state of California remains the entertainment capital of the nation!

It used to be our movie industry that captured the imagination of our fellow Americans. Now, our politics are what amazes.

"This week, a plan to split California into three separate states is now making its way through the proposition process.

A plan to split California into three separate states may be on next year’s ballot.

Official paperwork was filed with the secretary of state’s office last week.

Tech billionaire Tim Draper, who came up with a six-state split in 2014, is behind the three-state plan: Northern California, Southern California” encompasses Fresno and most of Southern California.

The new California will be for part of L.A.county and most of the coastal areas.

Draper says the political and economic diversity of California is too difficult to govern.

"I would argue that it is not too difficult to govern; rather, our state is being mismanaged by progressives more interested in engaging in politics at the national level and transforming Sacramento into the West Coast Washington, DC than in focusing on the less than glamorous items that make other states successful…like infrastructure, business development, and public health.

"What would these states look like? . . .

. . . "Other Californians must take a different approach. The Citizens for Fair Representation, known locally as the State of Jefferson (a group of several counties in Northern Califonia and Oregon that have petitioned to form a 51st state), has filed a lawsuit against the State of California over what they believe to be lack of representation and dilution of vote."
