Florida and South Florida. One such proposal was made in 2008 by the North Lauderdale commissioners. The proposal was revived in 2014 when South Miami City Commission passed a South Florida state resolution on October 7 and sent it to counties in the proposed state's area. Georgia The Pierce County Republican Party placed a question on the county's May 2018 primary ballot asking Republican voters if they wanted all Georgia counties south of Macon to join together to “form the 51st state of South Georgia”. The question failed with only 27% of voters agreeing with it. Idaho In the mid and late 1860s, there was a proposal centered on Lewiston in northern Idaho for the Territory of Columbia to be formed in the Inland Northwest from parts of what is now eastern Washington, northern Idaho and western Montana. Longstanding political rivalry along with geographic isolation led to proposals in the early 20th century that portions of northern Idaho and eastern Washington be united into a new state named Lincoln. In 2020, "Move Oregon's Border for a Greater Idaho" proposed breaking off most of Oregon's area and some of Northern California and join it with Idaho. Even if passed by voters, it would still need approval from all three state legislatures. In 2021, five counties in eastern Oregon voted to "require county officials to take steps to promote" adding the counties to Idaho. In May 2022, voters in Douglas and Josephine counties rejected an advisory vote, causing the proponents to scale back the scope of the proposal and issue a “less ambitious” map. The reduced scope includes only eastern Oregon, does not include any California territory, and only includes a little more than a third of the original map’s inhabitants. Eleven Oregon counties have approved some version of the proposal. In February, 2023, the House State Affairs committee of the Idaho House of Representatives approved a resolution to authorize the legislature to discuss moving the state border with Oregon lawmakers. Illinois Between 1840 and 1842, several northern counties in Illinois, including Jo Daviess County, Stephenson County, Winnebago County and Boone County, voted to reattach to Wisconsin, from which the counties were ceded to Illinois by Congress in 1818. The split was precipitated by the mutual antagonism between northerners and southerners due to social and political differences. The split was never realized due to lack of support from Chicago and Cook County,
