Plan to split Calif. into 3 states may qualify for ballot
By Eric Ting, San Francisco Chronicle
Californians may get to vote on a plan to split the state into three smaller states this November.
Venture capitalist Tim Draper, who previously pushed a proposal that would split California into six states, says that his three-state proposal has enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot.
On Thursday, Draper said in a statement that the “CAL 3” initiative has collected over 600,000 signatures from Californians who would like to see the state split into three. An initiative needs 366,000 signatures to appear on the ballot.
