EDIT: (Oops, this is in Article IV, NOT Article 3,) Section 4 of the United States Constitution

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

If and when the US government begins doing its job -- and "a Republican Form of Government" MEANS one chosen BY THE CITIZENS, which in turn REQUIRES honest elections -- then there won't be any REASON for States to withdraw from the Union.

American's DO NOT WANT Communism or other tyranny; they don't want poverty; they don't want high taxes (which they know are spent mostly in ways that harm rather than help); they don't want propaganda aimed at getting them to give up their culture or their nation, or at dividing us racially or by gender or in any other way. They don't want constant aggressive wars, or bureaucrats who force them to buy things they don't want and make it difficult or impossible to buy things they DO want. Americans don't want censorship of honest speech on important topics. We don't want thousands of criminals released from foreign jails being invited into our cities and given resources our OWN people are in dire need of.

With honest elections, we wouldn't HAVE any of those problems.

Without constant, industrial-level election fraud, none of us would even be thinking about secession.
