Draper, chairman of the so-called "CAL 3" campaign, announced earlier this month his group planned to submit more than 600,000 signatures, or nearly twice the amount required by law, to qualify for the Nov. 6 ballot.
"CAL 3 is committed to solving California's most pressing issues, including the state's failing school systems that impact more than 6 million kids, highest-in-the-nation taxes, deteriorating infrastructure and strained government," the group said recently.
"Partitioning California into three states would empower regional communities to make better, fairer and more sensible decisions for their citizens."
This isn't the first time Draper has sought to split up California.
He backed a 2014 effort to break up California into six states, but despite spending more than $5 million on the measure it failed to qualify for the ballot.
Even if Draper's group gets enough signatures this time it still won't be easy to split up the state, which joined the union in 1850.
The Legislature would need to give its consent along with Congress.
