Alt.Geography: Breaking Arizona?

You know me: I love a good bout of speculative geopolitical mapping as much as the next map collector. This one got my attention today, thanks to loststates.com, and I've got a question for anyone from Arizona reading this:How serious is this argument right now?

I'm not from Arizona. But, from what I understand, yes, people are actually trying to gather signatures for this.

The problem is that even assuming this a) gets on the ballot, b) passes in Puma County, it still has to pass c) the Arizona state legislature and d) (the real problem) the U.S. Congress. So I don't think it's that serious, more of a "Hey, would you stop that crap," sorta statement from people in Tuscon.

Pima, not Puma County. And on that mispelling, time for bed.

Actually, the AZ lege would be a real problem too. Those people hate Pima County with a serious paint-blistering passion, and if you did a poll of Maricopa County 85% of the responses would indicate that they thought Pima County was occupied by nothing but unwashed hippie freaks, drug addicts, and undocumented brown people.
