Are you insane? 3 more democrat reps at least, and 6 more democrat senators? Think, man, think!!!
I think you’re missing his math on this one. He means put them all together as one state, so 2 dem senators for the lot. With those counties gone, you get at least 4 more rep senators in exchange, from the states that would go completely red with those counties removed.
They would be ONE STATE.
