Having been someone who participated in the State of Jefferson movement... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_(proposed_Pacific_state)

This can be done. It really only requires each county to adopt resolutions that state they wish to withdraw from their respective states and join a new state.

Each state legislature has to approve it, which they won't but that's a good thing!

The reason is immediately upon denying the people the right to create a new state there is a federal constitutional infringement claim that can be made to the SCOTUS.

It has to get that far first so there is standing to sue.
