For all the attention by the national news media, the total population of the counties voting to secede is under 30,000.

The largest, YUMA county, is 10,043

4. Can they have another vote to kick them out

5. Secession

I don't think States or counties should be allowed to place this on their ballots. Remember how the majority would have voted on slavery in some states? Now my main reason is that this is not a states rights or county rights issue. It is a Federal issue. It affects our nation. Does anyone think we should allow some nut cases to create a new country within our borders? Why don't our federal Reps and Senators and President put an end to this nonsense?

6. they were not trying to create a new country, just a ridiculously small state of 30,000 people

7. Send them all to Russia

Then they can really complain about their lack of rights.

8. Alternative living

I am supportive of all individuals who want to secede…

to go ahead and relinquish United States citizenship and find life elsewhere.

9. Let the Yes'es secede ...

... and stop any and all state and federal input at their borders.
Good luck getting electricity. Good luck getting groceries trucked in, unless you have a treaty with neighboring 'states'.
Good luck getting your schools funded. Or your Medicare/Medicaid checks. Or any crime/fire prevention.

Have fun being 'independent' & 'free of government influence' ...

10. it's the exzact opposite play - they want ALL the Federal $$ being a small elite state would offer.
