Tell you what, if there is a significant change in the flag it's going to be a real shot in the arm for the Americana and Knick Knack industries.

So they just need a campaign to Buy American American Flags. Maybe they could copywrite the design, and only sell it to American companies? Oh wait, China, that's not going to work...

Regarding splitting states, ever hear of redistricting? 
It is the same in any democratic vote, however "Churchill, etc".
West Virginia was split from Virginia early in the ACW for political reasons, though the circumstances were exceptional, of course.
No the two questions were completely separate, 63% of those who voted chose to become a state(with a 80% turnout)

You don't understand the ballot or the results.
Two questions were asked, the first asked something to the effect of 'do you want to change the status quo?' and 54% of people said yes.
A second question asked something to the effect of 'if the status quo were changed what would you like to change it to?' and 61% of people said they wanted to become an American state, 33% for a sovereign free association, and 5% for independance.
You answered the second question regardless of whether you answered the first.
I suspect this was intentionally done to obfuscate the real result and make the number seem greater than it really is.
You suspect wrong.
It is the simplest, most basic thing to ask 'do we want to change how things are right now?' and then ask a second question 'if we were to change the status quo, how would we do that?'
Doing anything else hides information. For instance, simply asking 'do you want to become an American state?' would mean the no answer would contain groups who want to maintain the status quo, and groups who want to become an independant nation.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

It's interesting that they put in an anti-State governor and mayor while voting to support statehood.
