It is illegal but if a state voted to leave by a good margin, they may bicker about it for a while but eventually they would leave if they wanted to bad enough (i.e. violence, etc)
One quibble with Maritime's post - Texas vote did for Jimmy Carter in 1976 so it has been less than 70 years. Democrats also controlled the state senate up until 1996 and the house up until 2003.
