    I vote Nay.

    While land doesn't vote, if you look at a county election map, anyone seceding is not going to just walk away with current borders intact, and even if you establish a new border, you're going to be in the middle of enemy territory no matter which state we're talking about.

      Yeah, but the blue spots are where the people actually live. 🙂

        I am very aware, as someone in one of Pennsylvania's blue dots. But I don't want to live fully encircled by active hostiles.

        Close down a few major roadways and it's siege tactics, and blue areas would get starved out or cut off from water pretty quickly. Most people won't be fighters, and it just seems like a bad situation.

        Plus that red land, while not necessarily lived on is where a lot of food, resources, and commerce is. How much food can we grow or raise in cities. How much defense industry do we have? Where do we get wood or my minerals/ores?

        Secession just seems like a way for a lot of people to suffer. We need to get the whole place back, not specks here and there that are dependent on (?).
