The Six Californias is a proposal to divide up the 54 electoral votes 
that California has in presidential elections, which is a solidly blue 
state for the Democrats. Half the population lives in the Los Angeles, 
San Francisco and Sacramento regions. Put these three regions into 
separate states, the other three regions will become solidly red states 
for the Republicans and tilt the presidential elections in their favor. 
The proposal is a solution for the underlying problem that the 
California Republican Party has more in common with the endangered 
spotted owl than one-tenth of the US population. It's easier to redraw 
the lines than compete for votes.

Thank you,
