I hope this never is necessary.  I would rather see Elections in California be fair and secure.  Judicial watch claims that 11 California Counties had more votes cast then there are eligible adults living in them.  https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/the-conversation/sd-california-more-voters-than-eligible-adults-claim-20170809-htmlstory.html If California wasn't a closer race then they claim, why did they have to cheat so hard in 2014 and 2016?  I hope instead that liberals realize their leaders are liars and traitors. If even 10-20 percent fall away from voting Democrat then I think the whole reason to split goes away. Prior to 1992, California was a Republican strong hold that had voted strongly Republican for several decades. So why the change?  San Francisco became a mecca for Gays, LA for Actors, and the whole Liberal Utopia mystic pulled hundreds of thousands here.  At the same time, Latinos began their migration into California and the rest of the country. in The 90's California's immigrant population increased by 37%. It's now slowed to just 6%. To the degree that Trump has won over Latinos and Democrats partaking in the #walkaway movement is the degree to which California will be up for grabs.  https://www.ppic.org/publication/immigrants-in-california/
