  We discuss examples of two dimensional metallic states with charge
fractionalization, and we will demonstrate that the mechanism of charge
fractionalization leads to exotic metallic behaviors at low and intermediate
temperature. The simplest example of such state is constructed by fermionic
partons at finite density coupled to a $Z_N$ gauge field, whose properties can
be studied through rudimentary methods. This simple state has the following
exotic features: (1) at low temperature this state is a "bad metal" whose
resistivity can exceed the Mott-Ioffe-Regel limit; (2) while increasing
temperature $T$ the resistivity $\rho(T)$ is a nonmonotonic function, and it
crosses over from a bad metal at low $T$ to a good metal at relatively high
$T$; (3) the optical conductivity $\sigma(\omega)$ has a small Drude weight at
low $T$, and a larger Drude weight at intermediate $T$; (4) at low temperature
the metallic state has a large Lorenz number, which strongly violates the
Wiedemann-Franz law. A more complex example with fermionic partons at finite
density coupled to a SU(N) gauge field will also be constructed.
