A congressional district represents a certain number of people. (approximately 700,000 people) Weld county has approximately 250,000 people and giving them two senators and a representative would give them far greater representation than the rest of the country.
Even if they could pull it off, it would lead to every liberal county in the country trying to do the same.

Let them, once we get upwards of 100 states a very good case can then be made for a “re-partitioning” of the united states into three countries, each with their own ocean facing borders, Atlatic, Pacific and Gulf of Mexico.
Then the heartland could truly be free from the tyranny of the coasts and the coasts would no longer have the flyover country to whine and bitch about.
