The south gets virtually no representation in Congress. They sure get taxed by Congress though.

That sounds familiar.

Don't just talk about it, DO IT. Would be glorious, and if successful, could see other blue states with counties full of normal people, starting to do it.

Some of those are likely among the seven slated to vote on it this year. I don't know that, just guessing.

One move like this would trigger the same attempts all over the country.

If they start now, they might be able to break off in 20 years when all of the lawsuits finally settle


Look at how hard and long its been for St George. I imagine it's harder for a county to leave a state.

I have a very good friend who owns a farm in Springfield IL and I can tell you they can't stand the shite going on in Chicago. It's like 2 different worlds.

The only thing that surpasses the ineptitude of the Illinois government is it's corruption.

Reminds me of the time West Lakeview tried to succeed into Jefferson Parish.

If AI's answer is correct, it's a very long and difficult road...

A part of a U.S. state cannot simply leave to join another state without formal approval, which requires official consent from both affected state legislatures and the U.S. Congress under Article IV, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution.The Legal RulesState Permission: The legislature of the state losing the land must formally agree to give it up.Receiving State Permission: The legislature of the state gaining the land must formally agree to take it.Federal Approval: The United States Congress must approve the final border change.

Liberals can’t do a fricking thing right. Stacking L’s by the day nowadays.

Unfortunately it will never happen. The law is clear on this. Chicago would have to agree to release the counties and they never would.
