at least seven counties intend to vote on a ballot question around that possibility this November, including Calhoun, Clinton, Greene, Iroquois, Jersey, Madison and Perry counties. Four of the seven counties (Calhoun, Clinton, Jersey and Madison) are within the Greater St. Louis Metropolitan Area.

Cook County does not seem to be weighing in on the matter.

WEIRD.
