I have advocated several states dividing for years. Split Philadelphia from the rest of the state and we would likely have two more republicans in the Senate. Do the same for Seattle and Washington, Portland and Oregon, Chicago and Illinois, and you would radically change the Senate.
Absolutely. I’m an IL native, CO transplant and with the exception of Chicago and E.St. Lous and the Quad Cities, the entire state is red. We’ve been screwed by Chicago for years.
