45 Illinois Counties Vote to Secede, Democrats Have Ruined the State (Video)
In this 11 November 2026 published video, host Tim Pool talks about how 45 of Illinois’ 102 counties have approved non-binding referendums to explore separating from the state, following the addition of 12 counties in the November 2026 election. While supporters of the movement cite dissatisfaction with Democratic governance and Chicago’s political influence, legal experts and political observers note that actual secession is largely symbolic due to strict constitutional barriers.
Voters in 12 additional downstate counties—Coles, Ford, Gallatin, Hamilton, Henderson, Macoupin, McDonough, Monroe, Piatt, Saline, Warren, and Washington—approved separation measures on November 3, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. Several townships within Adams County also passed similar referendums. Between 2020 and 2026, 45 counties have passed these measures, representing nearly half of the state’s counties by number, though they account for a much smaller share of the state’s total population compared to the Chicago metropolitan area. As noted by FOX 32 Chicago, the ballot questions do not legally remove any county from Illinois. Instead, they advise county boards to discuss the possibility of forming a new state with other counties outside of Cook County.
Organizers with groups like Illinois Separation and conservative commentators—such as those featured on The Wall Street Journal opinion pages—argue that state policies, taxes, and regulations are dictated by Democratic leadership in Chicago and Cook County. They contend that downstate rural communities lack meaningful political representation and would benefit from self-governance.
Political analysts writing for Yahoo News point out that while the votes serve as a prominent political protest against Governor J.B. Pritzker and state leadership, forming a new state is practically impossible. Under Article IV, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, a new state cannot be formed within the jurisdiction of an existing state without the consent of both the Illinois General Assembly and the U.S. Congress.
