The movement to relocate the Illinois state line has an undefeated record: 33 and 0! Seven more counties voted in favor of separating from Chicago yesterday in non-binding referendums. Read all about it at our own website: https://redstatesecession.org/33-counties-have-now-voted-to-split-illinois/
Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico voted on a 7th nonbinding referendum about PR’s political status yesterday.
Results (among those who voted on the question): statehood 57%, secession 31%, and secession with free association (under US' wing) 12%.
This referendum was the 1st to not include status quo as an option. That's why 17% left this question blank on their ballot.
But the status quo is probably what they'll get, since they'd need a lot more Dems in the Senate to get statehood.
Oregon
In 2020, the Greater Idaho movement proposed various ballot questions to county clerks to try to find something they could force onto the ballot to gauge support for the movement, and some clerks allowed a ballot question on county meetings re: Greater Idaho. Signatures were gathered to put it on the ballot, and voters approved in 2020.
Meetings have been held in Lake, Baker and Malheur Counties for 4 years on the topic, but the real hold-up is in the Oregon Legislature.
County commissioners can themselves simply repeal the ordinance that requires greater Idaho meetings, but it went up for a vote there.
Leaders of Citizens for Greater Idaho didn't oppose ending the meetings, and certainly didn't campaign, but voters in each of the 3 counties rejected the ideas of ending the meetings or incorporating them into regular commissioner meetings by a vote of 56% yesterday in initial results.
This was not a referendum on support or opposition to the movement. 3 counties in eastern Oregon have had clear questions on that, and they strongly voted in favor of trying to move the state line, in percentages similar to 10 other eastern Oregon Greater Idaho ballot initiatives that indicated support for the movement. So Greater Idaho has already proven that E Oregon wants to join Idaho.
I find it amusing that voters refuse to make any signal that might be mistaken as opposition to Greater Idaho, even when Citizens for Greater Idaho leaders themselves weren't opposing the adjustment to the meetings. They refuse to give a break to their own commissioners, whom they vote for. Commissioners who want to spend less time in meetings should just repeal them quietly rather than making it into a referendum.
Texas
The Texas Nationalist Movement PAC website is showing that ten winning candidates for Texas House of reps are signers of the Texas First Pledge (to let voters vote on Texas independence). Additionally, winner Mike Olcott has also supported TEXIT.
Overall, 65 signers will now hold office in Texas, including state Ag commissioner, county offices, State Board of Education, TRP party offices, etc
I have no idea whether this website is already updated to include all of this election's results, but it is updated for the legislature at least.
Texans deserve to vote on independence on a regular basis. Membership in a union is voluntary. As the TNM explains here, no candidate of any party can get fedgov and the deep state under control. Texas must get out, and I believe the other red states will follow
Georgia
Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) has advocated for National Divorce repeatedly, and has won re-election with 64% of her district’s vote. I know of one other secessionist Congressman, but I will let him speak for himself at a time of his choosing.

Our website has the articles we wrote before we had a substack, plus the newer ones.
I wish CA would move for secession in protest of Trump. A blue state making the first move to validate the course of action can open the door for red states to follow.
Excellent work my friend! Good summaries of Secession's success last night.
