Yeah, to me this seems like another variation of that movement that's constantly trying to get California to pass a bill to split it into multiple states. Which, wouldn't you know, just happens to favor the Republicans!

Uh, does it? Last time I did that math the outcome was a 2:1 advantage for Dems

They want to do gerrymandering but by creating new states instead of within a state. They want to make the population centers their own states and make multiple states out of the rural areas, which vote as red as some red states. Which is just a convoluted way of adding more Republican senators.

Ah, the last realistic map I saw was the norcal, socal, eastcal one not the GOP wet dream one since there's not a snowball's chance in hell of that one passing the assembly

I could be wrong but I had thought I read that it was the same chucklefucks behind both variations, if that's the one that came up for vote... I don't even remember how long ago, time is meaningless now.
