I was thinking of combining states and get down to about 40.

Anyone?

Back later.

Dakota, Carolina for starters.

Senators Manchin and Rockefeller consider WV a reliably stupid electorate that votes counter to its own personal interests.

Even if Colorado would let those counties go, can you imagine the Democrat controlled US Senate allowing a new state, which would likely elect 2 Republican senators????

that’s when the Puerto Rico becomes a state...

think the Hawaii/Alaska becoming states debacle...there was a reason 2 territories became states at the same time.

That would kill any remaining power we have in the senate...

The Yankees fabricated a rump "Virginia Legislature", which proceeded to vote in favor of those counties seceding from Virginia ... The real Commonwealth of Virginia was not in a good position to argue about it.
