Results by Northern and Southern California

How you determine what is "Northern" and what is "Southern" ?

On a county map of California, there's a nice line through the state.

The one Between San Bernardino-Kern-San Luis and Inyo-Tulare-Kings-Monterey ?

Yes, although Kern is a little debatable. You could put it in NorCal if you wanted to keep the Central Valley together, although there definitely are crazy people who commute from Bakersfield to LA.

There are two possible definitions, one which divides the state exactly along that line and another that puts Kern, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties in NorCal. The latter is slightly more geographically reasonable, keeping the coast and Central Valley communities together, and also making the two states more even in population, but the former looks better on a map.

You know nothing about CA.

I beg to differ. You can't come up with any reason to put Kern in SoCal except that it makes SoCal more Republican and that you like SoCal more. You had the incredibly stupid map in which the "Bay Area" included ultra-conservative counties in the northern Central Valley that had no geographic connection to the Bay at all.

Anyway, as I've said elsewhere, the best split is a three-way split, with the Central Valley as its own state.
