Illinois voters in several pro-Trump counties voted in favor of seceding from Illinois to try to form a new state during the recent election.
The question, "Shall the board of [the county] correspond with the boards of other counties of Illinois, outside of Cook County, about the possibility of separating from Cook County to form a new state and to seek admission to the Union as such, subject to the approval of the people?" was featured on the ballots of voters in counties outside Cook County.
