On May 6, the Ninth Circuit dismissed the lawsuit Citizens for Fair Representation v Newsom, 18-17458. This is the case filed in 2017 that argues the population of California legislative districts is so huge, ordinary residents of California have no realistic chance to communicate with their legislators. State Senate districts in California have over 1,000,000 residents; Assembly districts 500,000.
Here is the six-page opinion, which says none of the plaintiffs have standing. It will not be published. Thanks to Kevin Sabo for this news.
NOOO brainer case — even for 9 cir leftist party hack judges.

2020 Census pop– [subject to CV-19 BIO-WAR stuff]
circa 330,000,000
/ 50 States = mere 6,600,000 average per USA Senator — but many SMALL pop States
/ 435 USA Reps = mere 758,621 average.
Thus — USA powermad statist control freaks 24/7
— about ZERO connection with average citizens
— for MANY decades.

California is just too big. It should be divided into 3 or 4 states.
Yes. That idea came from the 2016 Nathan Norman presidential campaign.
The plaintiffs should work with John Cox to get an initiative to increase the size of the legislature.
Districts could have roughly 5000 votes cast, apportioned among cities and counties. Candidates would receive one legislative vote for each vote they receive, giving full proportional representation.
These legislators would vote on final passage of all bills.
They would also elect committee members to serve in Sacramento. 40 Senators could be elected statewide, while 80 assembly members could be elected from districts.
Both California and US congress would have to sign off on CA being split. That seems unlikely as it would give them more electoral and senate votes. There are other states which are just as big or bigger geographically, and while California currently has the highest population that is a fairly recent thing and will not necessarily always remain the case. The state has far flung portions which are very different from each other, but other big states like NY, FL and TX have the same issue.
@ Statement:
Exactly: Other states need to be divided as well. IMO, any state with more than 5% of the total population should be considered for division. That would mean TX could become 3 states, and NY, and FL could each become 2 states.
