This is nothing more than a transparently desperate attempt on the part of down state Republicans to get rid of all those pesky Democrats in Chicago. Democrats control the state government right now, and Red County Repubs are tired of it. Too bad, so sad. 
Thi idea is collossally dumb for multiple reasons, including Chicago area geography. Cook County is bordered by 5 other counties, and there are many suburbs that the county line cuts right through. One example is Barrington, where my daughter and her BF live. The line between Lake and Cook counties is literally the street they live on. They're in Lake County; cross the street and you're in Cook County, even though you're still in Barrington. I'm sure there are lots of other examples.
Sorry, down staters, this is not going to fly, for way too many reasons to list here. Cook County will laugh its collective ass off at this exercise in futility. Same with the collar counties, such as the one I live in.
