An Illinois county is looking to secede from the state and join Missouri, but the Illinois attorney general is pushing back on the plans, stating that any referendum on the issue would have no legal effect.
Raoul said Illinois's constitution does not directly address county secession or the alteration of the Illinois border by other means. Some articles of the constitution handle issues merging and consolidating land between existing counties, but that would not apply in this case. The attorney general added that secession is not granted through the Counties Code nor the Election Code, either.
