I suspect the other blue states are going to see how this plays out before making a move.

I could see Michigan following suit if California is successful. We are so tied to Canada in terms of energy and the automotive industry.

I think Minnesota would also follow suit quite expediently.

I have hope WI would, but it wouldn't come from the state legislature. It would have to come from the Governor which would be challenged in court and makes Tuesday's State Supreme Court victory matter even more. Granted, if we had lost the shifting of the balance would only happen August 1st, but shit, we're good til 2028 at least now.
