That would create 102 senators with no guarantee that two of them will come from non-Chicago.
We need to boot Chicago out of the country.
If the Illinois Republicans are this powerful, why don’t they simply disband the City of Chicago? They could split the territory among neighboring localities while keeping the State intact.
Only one way democrats will give up power.
You need armed checkpoints...
The deal for Chicago would be a 2 for 1 trade. Create the state of Chizzlevania out of Cook and several surrounding counties. In return, creation of the State of Albufacuse (upstate NY) and the State of Corntopia (downstate IL.)
Simply overturn legislatively the one man one vote dictum from the SCOTUS! Doing away with having bicameral State Legislatures was the beginning of big, Rat-run cities reign of democratic tyranny on the rest of the country.
Chicago mayor-elect says city's fiscal gap worse than $700 million
Note to IL taxpayers: BOHICA.
Yes. Chicago will become the new DC or Puerto Rico but with Senators and power as you said.
Ironic that one of the States that have always preached that secession was un Constitutional is using this avenue to solve one of their problems. Land of Lincoln.....

Sell Chicago and its suburbs to Canada, keep the rest of Illinois
Throw in Detroit, its not worth much anyway
I really think we should have 100 states. States themselves have gotten too big.
“Bad idea for mall of us. Shitcago will have its own two DmonShit senators and the rest of IL could still elect a couple more. Far better toi concentrate on rooting out the vote fraud in Shitcago. “
Purge their voter rolls and make everyone re-register to vote. Problem solved.
BAD IDEA RESTORE THE pre 80 ILLINOIS CONSTITUION
Before the so called reform of the Illinois state constitution in the 80’s The Illinois state constitution called for 3 state representatives for each state Rep district. Two were from the majority party and one from the minority party.
During that time there was an active Republican party in Chicago. While the Mayor was held by the democrats the city council did have active Republican Republicans and some of the Cook county positions Sheriff and President were held by Republicans. it’S THE REASON REAGAN GOT ELECTED AND CARRIED uLLINOIS
NO CITY STATES !
Why stop at Chicago
Merge Milwaukee, Chicago and Gary into one state,
The rest free
Make Chicago a District, not a State. Like Washington, D.C., District of Columbia, Chicago can be the “District of Chicago.” That way they get no Senators.
Separate Chicago and give it to California, then create 2 new states - Jefferson (Northern California, Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington.) and Adirondack (Upstate New York).
