The dems tried secession in the 1890's, if I am correct, and they lost the election for 30 odd years. Fact is that most states have mostly red counties, whether it be New York or California. Keep in mind though that Northern States like NY, for instance, have more densely populated urban areas. Let's see if this works:

Of course, this diagram is not very accurate because it makes it look like there are more Republicans up North than there are democrats. It doesn't take into account the fact that urban areas are much denser, whereas rural areas are mostly desert. 10 square miles of Boston is probably more populated than the whole of South Dakota, for instance.
Secession is not gonna work. It's not like blue states don't have Republican congressmen/governors in power.
