Splitting California
22nd April 2018
California voters may soon be asked to decide whether their state is too big and should broken into three, separate states. Venture capitalist Tim Draper, who pushed for a six-state proposal, now has a three-state proposal called “CAL3,” according to CBS San Francisco.
Draper did not have enough signatures to get his six-state measure on the California ballot in 2016. For this new proposal, he needs 366,000 signatures. On Thursday, he announced that he has more than 600,000 signatures.
“I’m proud to announce we’ve collected more than enough signatures to qualify for the 2018 ballot,” Draper said.
The best way to split California would be a major earthquake that would send the coastal areas out to sea.
