Sacramento, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Come November 2016, voters will decide not on one but two separate proposals to split California into six states.

The first proposal to qualify for the ballot was that of venture capitalist Tim Draper. His proposal is to split California into: Jefferson, North California, Silicon Valley, Central California, West California and South California.

A second initiative, proposed by Equality California (EQCA)  just gained enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.  Under this second proposal, California will be split into the Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Violet states. When put together on the map, these six states will look like the gay rainbow flag.  Unlike the Draper initiative, EQCA’s proposal splits the state into more equal parts, or close to equal.  “After all, that’s what we’re all about — equity,” said EQCA board president Andreas Meyer.

Under the EQCA proposal, Silicon Valley, considered the wealthiest region of California will be part of the Yellow state.

(For purposes of disclosure, the headquarters of The Adobo Chronicles is located in the Yellow state. Oh, we mean Silicon Valley).
