The most powerful elected official in the state, who won his election by a very clear majority, is representative of the state. I agree it’s not going to happen, but it’s not like it wouldn’t if they had the power to.
Yeah cross-state county annexation fantasies happen anywhere that a blue state borders a red state. They’d never happen, not only would the donor state have to willingly give up perfectly good land and taxpayers and the recipient state accept, the federal government would have to approve the change.
