The total population for Texas is an estimated 26,932,619. Until the day that the entire population so chooses to secede from the Union, a minor 30% should not be allowed to speak for the state. If 80,000 unverified people, as many computer accounts can be easily created and signed to give false numbers, so feel the need to secede, they should simply leave the union themselves and not take down the entire state. It is an embarrassment that these petitions have even been created to tuck tail and run instead of standing behind a majority vote.
