I actually have no problem with that. Let the voters decide. Regardless of the outcome, I hope the "losers" don't take it to the courts to upend the will of the people, such as what happened after the passage of Proposition 8.

California, the most populous state in the United States and third largest in area after Alaska and Texas, has been the subject of more than 220 proposals to divide it into multiple states since its admission to the United States in 1850, including at least 27 significant proposals in the first 150 years of statehood. In addition, there have been some calls for the secession of multiple states or large regions in the American West (such as the proposal of Cascadia) which often include parts of Northern California.

Seems like every few years there is something in the NEWS about California dividing itself.

Just like every few years there is something in the NEWS about Texas becoming its own country.
