The question every Minnesotan can answer, put plainly.

One state, one hard choice. Stay as we are — or steer somewhere new. No pundits, no spin. Just your ZIP code and your honest vote, counted in the open.

Which way the state leans

Not one number — a picture. The more the vote tilts toward leaving, the more Minnesota warms from evergreen to gold. Hold the line, and it stays green.

Hold Leave awaiting votes

Each vote drops a pin at its ZIP — green where the area holds, gold where it leans to leave, sized by how many have voted there. The state tint behind them tracks the overall lean.

Why the question is even on the table

Every card carries a real, checkable source. If it can't be sourced, it doesn't go up.

The wall holds only what can be documented. Claims that couldn't be verified were left off — on purpose.

Who Decides

What it would actually take

This vote is a mirror, not a lever. Here's the real machinery behind any of it.

First

The Minnesota Legislature would have to consent — the state's own lawmakers agreeing to divide or cede territory.

Then

Congress would have to approve it. Article IV of the U.S. Constitution requires it for any new state carved from an existing one.

Always

The people speak first. Before any of that moves, leaders need to know what we actually want. That's what this wall is for.

We steer by the star, not the noise.
