Secession in Illinois

 11/9/24 Chicago Sun-Times:

Residents in seven downstate counties voted in Tuesday’s election to explore the idea of breaking away from Illinois to form a new state.

The counties join a growing number of other right-leaning downstate counties that have approved similar nonbinding measures in recent election years. The movement comes as residents’ distaste for the left-leaning policies pushed through the Democrat-led Illinois General Assembly has also grown.

As the article points out, there is little chance of success.
