The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 on Wednesday to place a measure on the November 2022 ballot asking residents if they wish to possibly secede from California.
In the past, many Californian counties, as well as the state itself, have looked into splitting up the state due to cultural, monetary, and other differences, including some measures simply saying that the state was too big. A failed 2016 measure that would have split California into 6 states and Proposition 9, a proposed proposition that would have split California into 3 states in 2018 that was stopped before a vote by the state Supreme Court, have been among the most recent noteworthy attempts.
