Lincoln won 59.4% of the Electoral College Vote.
Trump won 56.5% of the Electoral College Vote.

So your view is any state can leave the Union anytime the state chooses for any reason the State dreams up.

Impressive vote efficiency.

Yep. That’s what a voluntary union is. The United States aren’t bound together by a sacrament. Those who opt to leave are answerable to God and their constituents, but not the other states. There should be justice in the way the severance occurs, but the union is a voluntary union of sovereign states, together, within the bounds of the constitution, signing over certain enumerated powers so long as they are part of the union.
