Thousands sign petition for ND-SD merger

[TexasTowelie]

FARGO — Thousands have signed an online petition requesting President Donald Trump merge North Dakota and South Dakota into a single state.

The change.org petition proposes the two states come together to form a new state called "MegaKota." Started in the Fargo area on Sunday, Jan. 6, by a user named Dillan Stewart, it quickly went viral on local social media feeds.

As of Monday evening, Jan. 7, it already has more than 2,500 signatures.

Stewart's reason for starting the petition is fairly simple: he thinks it would be "pretty cool" to have a state called MegaKota.

1. I'm all for it

Fewer senators from low population red states. While we're at it lets merge Montana and Wyoming. We could merge Idaho and Utah as well. Kansas and Nebraska anyone?

By the by, MegaKota? Why not just, ya know, Dakota?
