They're adding their population to Idaho, and therefore their electoral votes and representatives. If this moves forward, consider this: Outside of a few huge population centers, most of the country is Redder than blood.

So what does this actually do? Idaho has to accept them, no?
West VA split off from VA but that was long ago. What is the modern process for making this happen?
