A movement to explore the idea of separating from Cook County and creating a new state is continuing to build. 11 more counties along with several townships in Adams County, located in the western portion of the state, are set to vote on non-binding referenda in this year’s midterm election.
According to the group Illinois Separation, which has spearheaded drives to put non-binding questions of separating from Cook County, a total of 33 counties have already voted on such referenda, with all 33 of those votes succeeding thus far.
