Tim Draper is known for having crazy ideas — and for funding them.
Now, the legendary Silicon Valley investor is making headway on a longtime and perhaps unrealistic effort to split California into three separate states: Northern California, California (new), and Southern California.
Draper's proposal to cut up the Golden State qualified on Tuesday to appear on the ballot in November's general election. It received more than 402,468 valid signatures, more than the amount required by state law, thanks to an ambitious campaign, called Cal 3, and financial backing from the early investor in Tesla, Skype, and Hotmail.
Southern California, since it excludes LA, could potentially go Republican.
There has been talk of splitting the state up since I was in grade school. My guess is that they won't even come close to getting enough votes to make this happen.

But, you see, it has progressed from just talking about it to now being able to vote on it! It is moving more and more in the direction of a split and will likely happen one day because it makes sense on many levels.
It takes a long time to get people used to a big change. But, if the reasons are good, they will eventually adapt to the idea.
Not going to happen. The rest of the states will not give the West Coast four more senators.
