California Is One Step Closer To a Three-State Split
The Golden State has taken the first step in a plan to split the state into three new states.
Several California residents backed the proposition crafted by billionaire Tim Draper , whose plan to break the state into three will now be put to petition in an effort to bring the issue to a vote on next year's election ballot.
According to Draper, the state will be divided into a northern section, which would contain Sacramento and San Francisco, a coastal region that will house Los Angeles, and finally a southern third that will contain San Diego.
CAPS (Californians For Population Stabilization) posted a photo on Twitter showing what the new trio of states would look like if the initiative were to pass in a vote.
According to the Washington Examiner, if the proposal was to be approved by residents, it would move up to Congress to be reviewed for final approval.
As it turns out, Draper had previously tried to push this idea in 2014 with no success. Draper claims that the reason behind the state split was to provide residents with three smaller forms of government.

I cant believe xx Jefferson has not seeded this....or maybe I missed it...
There's no way in hell that the state of jefferson supporters will accept a state that contains San Francisco.
Well they had their shot in 2016 with Draper's 'California Six' initiative. They blew it.
BTW, the business people of 'the State of Jefferson' laugh hysterically when asked about the RW attempts at severing NorCal.
Can we give the bottom part to Mexico?
NO. FUCKING. WAY.
It's never going to happen. This is nothing but a rich corporate protectionist who leans heavily Republican and fought the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 aka the "Corporate and Auditing Accountability, Responsibility, and Transparency Act" which was enacted as a reaction to a number of major corporate and accounting scandals, including Enron and WorldCom. Breaking up California is essentially an attempt to gerrymander the States votes so corporations can lobby and control more congressmen and Senators.
In the future, Northern California is going to be named "The State of Confusion".
How many is 'several,' 10? 25? 48? 'Several,' lol.
