West Virginia lawmakers are scrambling to let rural Virginia counties join the Mountain State amid conservative voter anger with the new Democratic majority in Richmond and its push for gun control and other liberal initiatives.
In a building fight that echoes the Civil War-era split of the Old Dominion that created West Virginia in 1863, 40 of 100 West Virginia House delegates have signed on to legislation that would accept revolting Virginia counties and towns.
The effort began after the November elections when urban and suburban voters put the Virginia General Assembly into Democratic hands. Many of those Democrats ran on a platform of restricting and banning guns.

If they can pull this off, it would be one of the biggest political victories in a century. I would not hesitate to move to the new counties of WV.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope that it happens!!!
ReplyDeleteWV cant manage themselves out of a paper bag, let alone take on additional citizens. This too shall pass as well as knee jerk reactions in society. Remember, as like the Eastern shore of MD, most of VA is RED. a couple of Northern VA counties as well as the VA beach area dominate the population in VA...hence the Blue dominance...Monkey County and the Baltimore area hold MD hostage too..hence the BLUE. it will change again. WEST VA? Hahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteIs that the truth. I was born and raised in West Virginia having moved to the Eastern Shore 15 years ago. I couldn’t wait to get the HELL out of that state. All my Facebook still in WV complain everyday about how poorly run WV us, the terrible roads, the poor, the drug problems, unemployment and how they’re wishing and waiting for the coal industry to return. The last thing those 40 delegates wants is to absorbed into WV.
Deletemaybe we can join em to?
ReplyDeleteMD and VA need to change the law to one county, one vote.
ReplyDeleteThe Nazi leadership in Virginia is not only going after the 2nd. amendment but now have turned on the 1st. amendment!
