"This proposed California initiative is very dangerous – it is an attempt to tinker with state law in order to influence the outcome of national Presidential elections," Senator Feinstein said.

California has 55 votes, Texas has 34, New York has 31, Florida has 27 Pennsylvania and Illinois have 21, Ohio has 20, and the rest are less than 20 each.

California's Electoral College votes are in a league of their own. Perhaps the answer is not to apportion California's Electoral Votes, but instead to divide California into two states?

California is too big to be left in the hands of Feinstein and Barbara Boxer.

Aaaarrrrggggghhhhh!! The political divide is not north-south, it's coastal-inland. It's safe to say that a division of California would be a north-south one. So you'd have TWO liberal-leaning states dominated by liberal coastal cities instead of one.
