It seems that downstate Illinois residents are finally fed up with Chicago influencing the rest of the state.

For those who don't know, Chicago is a liberal stronghold while most of the rest of Illinois is mostly conservative with some liberals as seen in the 2016 presidential election.
Or the senatorial election
Or in the more recent gubernational
In each of those instances, a democrat won but the vast majority of counties were won by the republican.
It now seems like republicans in downstate Illinois are fed up with Chicago and are trying to exclude Cook County from the rest of the state.
