I think California is more likely to split into multiple states before any of them consider secession.

Shaking up the state borders might give a few states pause, though.

You can't change the California state borders without getting the affected states' legislatures to also ratify the change, as well as Congress. Simply splitting California up would also require action by their legislature in addition to approval by Congress.
