We in Illinois are going through this now. 33 out of 102 counties have voted to begin talks among ourselves on how to secede. Right now, the consensus is to try to start a new state. My plan, (which has been well publicized in Southern Illinois, Eastern Missouri, and Western Indiana) is to have counties secede and join border states. We have Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa, and even Wisconsin to consider. My preference is that counties join the nearest state, but I would be fine with all of us joining one state.

We know shat the process is, and it's not likely to be easy, but we have the process started. With enough help and enough publicity, it will be much easier, and likely faster.

Don't forget the loss of population causing shifting Congressional representation and Electoral College votes
