Sorry for my lack of knowledge.... what is driving the push to split the state? Is it purely politics?

this split up using their proposed lines again would give California about three times the voting power to elect a President as they have now.

How do you figure? California has 55 electoral votes today. If they split into three they would have 59 electoral votes with the addition of 4 senators. 59 is not three times 55.

CAL 3 is a democrat scam.

Its gerrymandered to give the democrats complete control of all three new states.

The state of jefferson people are flatly against it and the east/west calif people are also against it.
