Analysis: Moving three counties from Maryland to West Virginia may not have the effect you think

by a group of Maryland Republicans is simple. Three counties from that state — Allegany, Garrett and Washington — become part of West Virginia. In essence, it takes the Maryland panhandle and makes it part of the state it sits atop. Not complicated.There are a lot of similar threats made often, with various people nodding at them and mulling them over. And then, because this is a very complicated thing that many people in each state would dislike, it doesn’t happen.

The change would look like this. Figures that decline, all on the Maryland side, are indicated with dashed lines. As you might expect, by losing so many White residents , Maryland would become more densely non-White and more Democratic.
