I didn't know about Maine, Delaware, and Maryland, though. I did find a few blue counties stuck in red states and which might like to move, so it's not 100% red counties trying to leave blue states.
Both states have to approve and the Federal government has to approve. The sticky bit is the state being diminished. I think the Feds could apply sufficient leverage on them to get them to approve, too.
Interesting thoughts. There has been on and off discussion of splitting Eastern Washington from Western Washington forever now. Either independent or also joining Idaho or with Eastern Oregon. The legislature just ended for the year and now that we have A PERMIT TO BUY A GUN, parents having no say in what goes on with their kids in school, an additional 6 cent gas and diesel tax, and about 70 other mostly unconstitutional new laws, it is looking like an only option.
Unless of course the ActBlue investigation finally gets under way. And of course, investigating tampering in and rigging elections, which is standard practice on the West side.
I wrote about this, too: https://albertcory50.substack.com/p/let-my-people-go

Whoa… this is new knowledge. As I have written about the potential states of Jefferson and North Colorado, this coming out of Maine is fascinating.
Will be tracking this - thanks, Michael!
