"In November, seven Illinois counties voted "Yes" on a referendum that asked whether they should explore “the possibility of separating from Cook County to form a new state and to seek admission to the Union as such.”The measure passed overwhelmingly. The vote was just the latest in the organized effort to make legal what 50% of the state's population of 13 million know is reality: Chicago Democrats govern Illinois, and will be in charge for the foreseeable future.
In Illinois, there are now 33 counties that want to secede and form a new state. But in January, Indiana Republicans agreed to a legislative plan to create a commission to examine a merger between Indiana and the rebellious Illinois counties.
"Our governor claims we're in Illinois," said Loret Newlin, who is director/coordinator of Illinois Separation Referendum. "But those of us who live outside Cook County know we aren't and haven't been. We don't see a way to fix it."
Joining Indiana may be even harder than seceding from Illinois and creating a 51st state."
