Minnesota state representative Jeremy Munson (R-Crystal Lake) introduced a bill, HF2243, Thursday that would allow Minnesota counties to secede from the state and join South Dakota.

The legislation would start the process to allow Minnesota counties to join a neighboring state. Under the bill, a Minnesota county would be able to apply to U.S. Congress to amend the state’s boundaries.

“State lines have been relocated many times in American history because it just takes an interstate compact between two state legislatures and the approval of Congress,” Munson said on his website.

Campaign on it and defeat democrats in next election?

>>Good idea if you care about your 2nd Amendment rights.<<

Also not being blown up by sibling marrying muzzies.

A lot of Massachusetts would like to join New Hampshire. F*** Beacon Hill.

From Article IV Section 3 U.S. Constitution:
“nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.”
There is nothing about needing the consent of the Governor.

Heck, I’d like to have 30 miles of the eastern side of caulifuorneeuh become part of NevaDUH. Still not enough to overcome Clark county though. 😯🙌

If we could join New Hampshire, we’d have better roads, better schools and half the tax burden. And some hope for better senators and congressional reps.

Idaho might become the biggest state in the Union...

Five Oregon counties to vote on leaving state, escaping to 'Greater Idaho'

Ok their stare House is 70-59 Democrat.
I don’t see them rushing this through...

[nascarnation]

That’s like Texas secession.
Lots of talk on FR.
Zero chance of it happening.

“ Counties in California and Oregon should maybe join Nevada.”

They already did, unfortunately it was the citizens of the wrong counties

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Why restrict it to neighboring states? Follow Russia’s Kalinograd Oblast model...

[grey_whiskers]

And Brookings (South Dakota State, home of the Jackrabbits. Close enough to Golden Gophers, right?)

[dsrtsage]

I hope they won’t have to move Wall Drug

I always said, if Puerto Rico wants to join the US, just make it a part of New York State.

[davidb56]

we could give the twin falls area to Utah, and get rid of the libs there.

[grey_whiskers]

Not applicable, since it is not forming a new State. Just counties jumping from high-tax to low-tax status.

The action is disintegrating before our very eyes. You are succumbing to normalcy bias. Biden just appointed a political commissar to the military. This isn’t the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s or even the early 2000s.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Toss in Ada County and Moscow.

[napscoordinator]

It’s dumb. We were getting some purple out of Minnesota. South Dakota is red enough. Republicans are absolutely the dumbest people on earth sometimes.
