Things could get interesting now.

Sounds like its doable. Question is would the Feds let it happen.

If it works can PA invite us. I'm sure parts of NJ would leave and join them?

[SmittyMHS 603]

I was thinking that also. But we have a river between us.

Is eastern PA much better? There's still a lot of "Blue" territory there.

You're kidding right??? Almost anyplace is better. Plus we could help turn it red.

At least , in PA,  I can get a CCW permit......For now!

I wish I was, here's how the Eastern counties voted:

NJ influence maybe??

Oh I knew you were right about the eastern side being blue. I meant it would still be better then what we have here now. And we could help dilute the cesspool.

Yeah, it just depends on how many transfer and if it dilutes it enough. We also have some Blue counties right over the river from PA's Blue counties, so they might just make it worst.

I suspect there are many like myself in South Jersey who would welcome a chance to get out from under Trenton's thumb. As I recall there was some talk about this part of the State seceding, some years back.

I don't see the river as a problem. Lots of states have rivers in them.

The river won't be an issue, it's the Blue counties in NJ that are across the river. Here's the 2016 map in NJ:

It's a good thing us guys in Ocean County are carrying water for much of the state!!!!  

[father-of-three 243]

I stand by my proposal to trade Warren county for Philadelphia county.  Since there is already a Warren county in Pa, the county can be renamed Musconetcong county.  The county already has 5 or 6 bridges, so Pennsylvania could easily be on both sides of the Delaware!

Philadelphia influence has branched out a bit.  Scranton and Allentown are the other eastern "blues," and Monroe county has been a New York City suburb for the past 20 years.  It felt really good to help make Pennsylvania a red state in the 2016 election.

This map can also be used as the "best and worst" places to live in NJ.

I think it would be great if Morris, Somerset, Hunterdon, Warren and Sussex counties succeeded from the State of NJ. You can bet Trenton would fight that as they would be stuck funding almost all the corrupt bottomless money pit cities!

And it saddens my heart to hear that. I blame it on all the condos they put up on farm land.

Much of Somerset is Republican and wealthy, and I live there and wouldn't want to be stuck in What would remain of NJ if counties succeeded.

Not according to the last Presidential election results in 2016, not even close... unless many Repubs stayed home...

[always_an_eagle 165]

Somerset is a blue county now, there are a few places in the county such as Raritan and Warren were they are still Republican controlled, the 2019 election you had towns such as Watchung flip blue and now a Democrat controlled freeholders and a new democrat sheriff in the sheriff's office. It is the first time in 50 years since you had Democrat control in Somerset county.

Morris won't be red for much longer, either.

I don't know about that. I'm in Morris county. I have kids in High School in the town I live in. The entire student body  are Trump supporters. They drive around with Trump 2020 and Maga flags on their vehicles. Gives me hope.

[gleninjersey 2,141]

Why would PA want NJ counties?

If you lived in PA already would you want more NJ residents?

Better keep hoping, the Dem supporters aren't that far behind:

Maybe not the counties, but how about the MONEY (think additional revenues)?

I live here too.

Mikie Sherril won big against a state representative; Jay Webber. While that congressional district has parts of Essex county, her campaign signs were all over Mt. Lakes, Boonton, Rockaway. She came in very strong in areas I wasn't expecting.

Hell, after Trump's election I saw a few people wearing the knitted pussy hats

I've said this before, so I'll say it again:  No Republican will ever again win a state-wide election in New Jersey.
