The 7 States That The Rest Of America Would Like To Kick Out Of the Country

An AskReddit thread yesterday polled Americans about which state they would remove from the union.
The answers were diverse and had a number of thought processes behind them — which states had the least people, which states contributed least to the country, which could survive on their own, and which state was Mississippi — and in the end a lot of people made a lot of sense.
Here are the states most Americans would love to see go:
7. Delaware.
First in, first out. Redditors alleged there's not much important there.
However, "Lots of companies are incorporated there. Sure, they could just move to another tax haven, but it would be a rough transition and they would lose out on the decades of case law that the state has on the subject of corporations.
6. Florida
This is most likely the result of the adventures of Florida Man and a desire to make elections easier.
Georgians spoke out in its defense as a functional Hurricane-shield.
5. Rhode Island
Rhode Island's departure would offend a minimal amount of people and shed a minimal amount of space.
"I had a professor in college from there and said that milkshakes are referred to as "cabinets." Who the hell does that?" Williston, North Dakota
3-4 (TIE). Either Dakota
One work-around solution was to combine North and South Dakota into a single Super Dakota.
While some Americans actually doubted the existence of North Dakota and proposed to strike it anyway, others pointed out that its absence would be noted

Universities everywhere are a problem!
I just knew it would be a TX-un to draw such a map. Hey, we STILL need access to at least one left coast port!
And you’re making Mexico a part of the New TX? Huh? Remember the Alamo?

You have to keep Connecticut; it’s the only way to make other states’ congressional delegation look good. I dare you to google a picture of Rosa DeLauro, double dare you.
Don’t blame me if eye bleach doesn’t work.
I like your list and I'll throw in arKansas - any state that spawned Bubba and the Beast is not part of MY Country!
Yes, but the same Big One you’re counting on to remove the left coast will take the Baja too! You TX-uns still need us to help think this through.
Been to the Alamo many times friend.
Besides, we had half of Mexico at one time and we just sorta gave it back.

Perhaps they could do with a bit of Texas governing...

That's the current configuration of Baja.

A couple more:
Hawaii--It's way over in Asia.
Oklahoma--Too many tornadoes, like the recent one in Monroe.
Actually we had all of Mexico.

Polk chose to let them deal with theor own problems post Santa Anna
I have always said that my mother came from the East Coast. She was born in Palo Verde, Calif.--on California's East Coast (the right bank of the Colorado River).
Well, I was just try`n ta be polite you know...
No need to beat `em up all over again, we just want a couple of shipping ports and some fishin' licenses.

“The implication was that an SEC coach or player may get arrested for DUI, but it would never be in the paper. Thus the advantage the SEC holds over other conferences.”
Nice try but what about Bobby Petrino? He was in the papers and got fired!
And ‘honey badger” Matheiu? Kicked out of school!
Dozens of SEC players are always arrested for DUI, burglaries, robberies, etc, and it is always in the papers down here. THAT is the advantage! We’re just tougher down here! ROFL
I see. Got it.
Earthquake.
