California to vote on split proposal

For the first time since the US Civil War, voters in California will decide on a proposal to divide their state.

And though a measure to split the most populous US state into three separate states qualified on June 12 to be on the ballot in November's election, few give it a chance of being approved.

An April SurveyUSA poll found that 72 percent of Californians would vote against it, and just 17 percent would vote "yes".
