If CA breaks into 3 states then 3 east coast mini states should be forced into becoming 1.
No way states like Rhode Island, CT and Delaware should have 6 Senators total. If you don't like the electoral college then you'll agree these states should not have the same voting power as the larger states.
The 3 smallest states in the US by Sq miles. - even smaller than HI.
48. Connecticut 4,845
49. Delaware 1,955
50. Rhode Island 1,034
What's your reasoning behind allocating political influence based on land size instead of population?
Orange County and SD have many large and small companies, not sure why people are saying SoCal would be poverty stricken without LA and SF dollars.
Some people will be shocked to know this, but San Diego is the second largest city in the state, not San Francisco.
Besides this will never happen, ever.

States are regarded in size by population, not square miles within them
What's your reasoning behind allocating political influence based on land size instead of population?
If states were either merged or divided, according to population, the Republicans would lose at least a dozen senators and the Democrats would gain about 6 to 8. There'd be about 95 or 96 total, with the Democrats holding close to 2/3 of them. That's the way it would be, if there was equal representation in this country. The rednecks would no longer be able to exert such a toxic influence on the whole nation.
Want a better education system, lower taxes, and safer roads in California?
I would love to know just how splitting the state accomplishes that! It's like a miracle, we split the state and we will be awash in money, everyone will have "LOWER TAXES?" and safer roads and a better education system (you mean the public school system will be abolished?) -- and there will be two cars in every driveway, and cheaper energy, and there will be no more homeless people pooping in the streets!
If you're going to make promises you intend to break you might as well shoot for the fences.
The only advantage is purely political, nothing more.

Now that required a snorting Marge Simpson laugh!
"Donate"? Lets not and say we didn't.
Not spending tax money on drivers licenses for illegals, paying for illegal aliens legal fees, bullet train, intentionally putting blocks between local and federal LE, etc.
if this does happen, would it be possible to for Americas 51 states to kick #52 (LA and SAN FRAN) out of the nation?
I would SOOOOOOO vote for that.
