They just need to get like Illinois or New York where one or two metro areas can out vote the rest of the state. Or elect people that represent their point of view. Doing away with the false dichotomy of left vs right and R vs D would be a good start, but that would threaten the established (entrenched?) power brokers at the top levels.

Or they can waste time and money on this secession nonsense. They may as well offer the land back to Mexico, for all the chance that the Feds will approve it.

That's what you get when you divorce voting from land ownership. If the rural folks want a bigger voting block, they need to encourage more voters to move to the sticks. Then those new voters need to be invested enough in the rural way of life to vote with the rural voters.

Note: I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. There are productive and unproductive people in both the city and the country in each state.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

If the voters approved it, and the voters of the whole state acquiesced, why on earth would the fed stand in the way (other than the tawdry matter of 2 senate seats and 2 extra CoE votes?)
