Five Colorado counties vote to secede from the state.

Tue Nov 05, 2013 at 9:06 PM PT (Darth Jeff): Eleven conservative northern Colorado counties voted whether or not to consider seceding and forming a 51st state. It appears the vote to secede has passed in eight, with Weld, Moffat, and Logan voting no. In practice this vote is just for show: both the Colorado legislature and Congress would need to approve a new state, which just isn't going to happen.

Correction to earlier tweet: 5 CO counties vote to secede, 6 vote to stay. Still just as likely to go anywhere.

Tue Nov 05, 2013 at 9:17 PM PT : A correction on Colorado. It appears secession was more unpopular than that. Phillips, Yuma, Kit Carson, Cheyenne, and Washington vote to leave. Elbert, Weld, Sedgwick, Lincoln, Logan, and Moffet vote to stay. Makes five secessions, six unionists.
