Gastonia, N.C. — Several homeowners in South Carolina could become North Carolina residents by Jan. 1, 2017, thanks to a bill to realign the border between the states.
The line between North and South Carolina is not precisely where surveyors drew it the colonial times, so lawmakers in both states are attempting to straighten the line.

Good God! What if some of those South Carolinians are trannies and suddenly become residents of NORTH Carolina. The implications are staggering, to say the least.
Georgia and Tennessee have never completely settled their border either.
It's a good thing they don't fight about it!
Sez the Georgians anxious to steal Tennessee River water.
Drunken surveyors are nothing unusual. My cousin ended up owning a good chunk of his neighbor’s yard and one of the guy’s porch steps. They cheaped out when they divided the property.
The California Nevada border is a little off too according to some researchers. Last officially surveyed in 1864.
One high school basketball from South Carolina, upon signing to play college ball in North Carolina remarked “I always hoped to go to a school up north”.
Paraphrased, but that line always made me laugh.
The states agreed 20 years ago to redraw the 335-mile North Carolina-South Carolina border from the mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. To alter the border in any way from those 1735 instructions would require an act of Congress
California’s Cuyama Valley was reportedly surveyed in a bar.

Geesh ... leave it alone, if it has been there that long. Damned people don’t have enough to do!
I thought it was a lake.
Can’t they just leave well enough alone, and redraw the border to zig zag around these properties??? Why can’t each state agree to make the exception to the original colonial boundaries??
Really??? I know of Nevada casinos which are right up against the Nevada/California state line, or where everybody thinks the state line is. If they resurvey and find some casinos are really not in Nevada, would cause issues.....
I can see happening in the southwestern US along rhe US-MX border
“Can’t they just leave well enough alone, and redraw the border to zig zag around these properties??? “
These worthless pols can’t fix “real stuff” so they resort to this crap as a way to bull$hit the taxpayers into thinking that they’re doing their jobs!
I remember Alvin York’s watering hole from the Gary Cooper movie, that had the state line painted down the middle of the floor. You could only drink on one side of the bar, the other side was dry. :-)
They might have to go in the right bathrooms instead of whichever one they choose that day. How inconvenient!!
Gee, if those Gawgans would have just asked purty like
We'd a just let them borrow the water
Gawd will just bring it back again
In that great big TVA
