Not very likely to happen. Would take a lot of votes where they would be in the minority to go there way. Borders between states do change on small scales. Since the 1940's: 1950: Kansas and Missouri exchanged land along the Missouri River due to flooding in 1944. 1961: 20 acres of land was transferred from Minnesota to North Dakota 1977: Texas and Mexico exchanged some parcels of land. 1998: Supreme Court gave part of Ellis Island to New Jersey 2017: North Carolina and South Carolina moved about 19 homes across state lines. Honestly the formation of West Virginia comes to mind as a similar situation where they had political disputes, had a bill of secession, and just generally felt they were not represented and outnumbered by the government to the east of the Appalachian mountains. They weren't able to succeed until the Civil War broke out and they stayed with the Union. |
