So is the rest of the country obligated to recognize them as 6 states? Maybe Texas could play that game too.
How about if Rhode Island decides they want a couple more senators and split into two states? Hawaii wants each island to be a state.
I think the rest of the country should tell California the two senators they already have are too many.
Yes but you’re missing the other half.
There are two halves to this.
There would be more senators. Most would be democrats. That is not good.
However there would be more Republican electoral votes.
That is good.
Both sides would win something. Both would lose something.
I think it’s sort of a wash, but it would make sense to me.
Just my personal opinion.
You may completely feel the opposite.
Oklahoma should form a state for each county. 77 red states.
