A West Virginia state senator from Monongalia County has put forth a proposal that encourages several bordering counties in Virginia and Maryland to secede from their states and join West Virginia.
In the proposal posted to Facebook Wednesday, Senator Chris Rose (R-Monongalia) introduced a resolution that invites 30 total counties—three from Maryland and 27 from Virginia—to secede from their respective states and join West Virginia. {snip}

The proposal cited the counties’ “geographic, economic, cultural, and historical connections with West Virginia, including a strong Appalachian heritage, rural lifestyles, and a focus on individual liberties,” as the reason for the invitation. Sen. Rose added in his post that such a move would “address residents’ concerns over policies in their current states that may not align with local priorities.”

Senator Rose is also not alone in encouraging Virginians to leave their own state amid this week’s election. Shortly after the race was called Tuesday night, Gov. Patrick Morrisey commented on the results, saying, “It’s about to get awful blue in the commonwealth of Virginia. Don’t wait for the high taxes to heavy regulations to come, now is your chance to escape to wild and wonderful West Virginia.”
