La controversia per la ridistribuzione della California ha scatenato una proposta legislativa per una soluzione a due stati da parte di un politico locale
Il deputato della California propone una soluzione a due stati in mezzo alla controversia sulla redistribuzione
Il deputato californiano James Gallagher ha presentato una proposta controversa per ridisegnare permanentemente la mappa dello stato, dividendolo in due entità separate. Questa soluzione a due stati, come viene chiamata, è un'alternativa al piano di redistribuzione del governatore Gavin Newsom, che dovrebbe essere sottoposto ai votanti in novembre.
Gallagher, che rappresenta un distretto nella regione interna dello stato, believes that Newsom's plan eliminates voices from these communities. He has stated that Newsom and his super majority can continue to govern as they wish, while he and the inland parts of the state would like to pursue different policies.
The proposed split would separate the bluer coastal counties from the more GOP-heavy inland portions of the state. If successful, the inland area, under Gallagher's plan, would have more than 10 million people and would be larger than 40 other states.
However, the California legislature would need to agree to the two-state solution proposal for it to occur, which is unlikely. If the two-state solution proposal fails in the legislature, Gallagher has suggested another option is a ballot initiative and putting it on the ballot as a proposition.
This isn't the first time such a proposal has been considered. In 2014, a proposal called Six Californias, financed by venture capitalist Tim Draper, failed to qualify for the ballot. An initiative to divide California into three states was also considered in 2018, but it did not make it to the ballot.
Jessica Levinson, a constitutional law expert, has stated that while it is legally possible for California to be split, it would be a difficult path. She also mentioned that Congress would also need to agree for California to be split, which is unlikely to happen.
Rep. Judy Chu has said that it is ridiculous to try to split the state into two. Newsom's office has stated that anyone who seeks to split California does not deserve to hold office in the Golden State.
Despite the opposition, Gallagher remains undeterred, stating that the "Gavinmander" proposal, Prop 50, could strip the representation of inland communities. The two-state solution proposal, if successful, would mark a significant change in the political landscape of California.
