We need to reexamine West Virginia Statehood...

it was, ultimately, improperly admitted. Perhaps give those counties to Virginia where they belong.

technically I guess you could try to have the Supreme Court dissolve West Virginia as being a state that is unconstitutional, but good luck in trying to find someone with standing to sue.
