West Virginia Invites Virginia 2A Counties to Join The Mountain State
DC Clothesline ^ | 15 Jan 20 | Dean Garrison

The plot thickens with the 2A battle in Virginia.

West Virginia is now early in the process of inviting Virginia’s counties to secede and be annexed to West Virginia.

WSET reports that the first official invitation has been delivered to Frederick County, VA.

The West Virginia Senate adopted a resolution by voice vote Monday to remind residents of Frederick County, Virginia, that the county has a standing invite — from 1862 — to become part of West Virginia. It now goes to the House of Delegates.

“ Wouldn’t it be Virgxit?”

Lol. As soon as I posted it I realized my mistake, but my way is funnier, particularly if their representatives fail to discharge their duties to the people.

...I’ll see myself out now....

making virginia more blue by making a very red state even more red is a spectacularly bad idea.

Better idea is all the conservative Virginians who didn’t vote vote in the next election and kick the Commies out of all 3 branches of VA gov.

BUT to do that we need some good conservative candidates on the ballot........

Hello????????

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_West_Virginia

... is the only state to form by seceding from a Confederate state. It was originally part of the British Virginia Colony (1607–1776) and the western part of the state of Virginia (1776–1863), whose population became sharply divided over the issue of secession from the Union and in the separation from Virginia, formalized by admittance to the Union as a new state in 1863.

True, but the exit of red counties would mean that VA's two Senators would be Dem for the foreseeable future. As it is, it may be hard to flip them, but not impossible.

The Constitution says

“New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; 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.

Technically there's nothing in there preventing parts of one state breaking off from one state and joining an existing state.

Virginia is lost. LOST...LOST...LOST! Look what's happening there. Consider just how many recipients of government checks there are there. Unless they move the US capital far,far away (thus meaning far fewer government checks) VA will be a Rat cesspool forever.

Recipients of government checks vote Rat. Don't forget that.

I’m surprised that Tennessee has tried to lure regions of southwest Va.

That is the way I read it.

They would not be forming a NEW state.

This would be another constitutional crisis and If read the way I see it, could result in an stampede of parts of states joining more favorable states. By the excepting states would have to agree to it.

What would this do? It would change the political landscape.
