Texas GOP rejects ballot question asking if state should secede

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘A Texas secessionist group plans to sue the state GOP for rejecting a ballot measure asking if Texas should leave the U.S.

The Texas Nationalist Movement claims it collected the necessary signatures required to add the “TEXIT” question – asking “The State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation. For or against” – to the primary ballot. Under state law, the minimum number of signatures “that must appear on the petition is five percent of the total vote received by all candidates for governor in the party's most recent gubernatorial general primary election.”

But state party leaders say the group submitted the signatures after the Dec. 10 deadline, and that most of the signatures were invalid.’

Texas GOP rejects ballot question asking if state should secede

The Texas Nationalist Movement says it plans to sue the state Republican Party after it rejected a petition to include a "TEXIT" question on the March primary ballot. The party says the signatures were turned in after the deadline, and many were invalid.

It’s not just signatures that are invalid, ‘secession’ is invalid – un-Constitutional, in fact.

I'd say the situation in Texas is more like a hostage situation.....No state should have to go through what TX is going through at the hands of the federal .gov.

Same with me. Can I build a wall around it and then give it back to Mexico?

Think if Texas leaves the US with its 40 Electoral Votes and two Senate Seats

Republicans will lose both the White House and Senate

It likely has nothing to do with deadlines and invalid signatures.

The Texas GOP knows that ‘secession’ is illegal, un-Constitutional idiocy and wants no part of it; Republicans are corrupt, dishonest, and liars, but they’re not stupid.

And of course, they don’t have the courage to admit that ‘secession’ is illegal, un-Constitutional idiocy, fearful of alienating the base.

It appears the results of the vote would be non-binding. It needs to be written so the vote would be binding and then resubmitted.

If Texas leaves, other states will instantly join them for EXACTLY that ^ reason. Why get fucked by democrats when you can just form a coalition of right wing states?

If Texas goes, it will end the United States.

No...Texas should be allowed to secede. It will be a good thing for the US.

You and I agree that Texas should secede. The sooner the better.

If they do, Mexico will invade them and take Texas back
Loyal Americans will do nothing to save them

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Texas isn't going to secede.
