A venture capitalist who feels colossal California is too unwieldy to govern is proposing to split it into six separate states, and Secretary of State Debra Bowen has given him the green light to start collecting petition signatures.

This isn't seceding though, this is just splitting the state up into smaller states. And from what the article said they have a decent amount of support. Lol.

Except this is not about secession. :P I'm curious if this will work, and if it'll work out for the better.

I know it's not about seceding it's just the closest example I could come up with.

You guys already have too many damned states. Should take after your northern neighbors.

About 31 million people less to govern than California.

Probably won't happen. I remember a while back here in New York, Long Island wanted to become its own state. After a small amount of buzz, I never heard shit about it ever again.
Congress will deny any attempts at secession (from state, not the union).

Too much representation in the Senate IMO. I call BS.
[s]Then again there are some northern states that do this anyway.[/s]

Um, isn't every state already divided into sections for the sake of governmental stuff? "Districts" I think they're called?
Besides, I think just splitting it into 2 is enough(North, South), if they must.
