I would say that this isn't very serious at all. Anyone can create a petition on that site, "Louisiana" isn't asking for this, some person in Louisiana is. That state is the size of my country, if someone in my country decided to try and make a decision like this for everyone I would be fucking pissed. Even if this reaches the threshold, it's still only a tiny fraction of the state population. What is to stop this state going into a Civil War? There is probably equal or more that would want to stay as part of the US. Honestly, this is a really stupid submission to HN.
