One day, the math person isn't going to convince them otherwise.

Barring ratification of a federal Constitutional Amendment stripping the requirement for states to approve any erection of new states using all or part of the land of an existing state, none of these “secession from a state to form a new state or join an adjacent state motivated mainly by partisan interests hostile to the dominant parry of the state being seceded from” moves is ever going to go anywhere.
