Proposal to split California into three states makes November ballot

Hmmm... Could the five boroughs (counties) of NYC be carved out of the state of NY into their own entity and let the rest of the state stand alone?
Would the rest of the state "survive"?

If NYC and long island split from the rest of upstate, not only would upstate survive, we would prosper.

Splitting N.Y. into 2 new states upstate and downstate would be glorious.

IMO The new upstate would be demographicly, politically and economically more in common with a state like ohio than what we are now.



The single biggest problem is the new 3 state proposal for California risks 4 additional dem senators and more reps.

The proposal is basically gerrymandered to create 3 new Democrat states.

If California were to be split in a way that the "state of Jefferson" was formally estblished (think North of Sacramento to southern oregon) would be a conservative new state. That would bring into the fold new delegates for presidential elections and new conservative reps and senators.

But no.

The proposal as currently written just keeps things more or less the same conservatives wouldn't benefit from it, and democrats would gain more national influence.

They would need to gerrymander the counties to try and separate the uber left commies from the middle and then the right side to improve things.

I think it will likely pass in November, but will go no further. Congress will not vote for this. Same thing in nys would happen.
