[Rebel Civics] Intrastate Secession in Illinois

Keith is joined by Eric Ivers from Illinois to discuss an intrastate secession effort to shift the IL-MO state line, moving 4-5 western Illinois counties to Missouri. Eric has been working to hold a citizen’s referendum in his county, voting to leave IL and become part of Missouri. We discuss the practical matter of passing an intrastate secession shifting state lines, the harder sell of a full state secession by leaving the union, and some secession variations in between. The irreconcilable differences in Illinois are highlighted by socialist, crime-ridden Chicago vs the large rural conservative areas, with state politics dominated by the high population city. Other Illinois secession movements will be touched on, such as solving a big problem by breaking off Chicago into the 51st State of New Illinois, and the intrastate secession movement of downstate counties moving state lines to put them in IN.
