I find this interesting. Please no politics, this is simply what is happening.

As a note about the Northern reaches of California. These counties are rual counties especially Modoc county which has 4,203 square miles and a population of 9,686 which is roughly 2 people per square mile. It resides in the far north east corner of the state, far from any large poulation centers.

If this picks up its possible but less likely that some of the counties in Southern Oregon could join the proposed state of Jefferson as the whole region here is already reffered to as "The Mythical State Of Jefferson"

How can this not be about politics?

It is indeed politics...and for the record it's seceed.

Dave, you know better.

Didn't we just do this not too long ago?

Consider this an official warning.
