Well I can’t believe the difference between Chicago and everything else. No wonder Democrats win mostly. When one city has more population than the rest of the state combined it is no wonder that Democrats win....This is astonishing to me (population of Chicago).
Chicago (the city where I work) doesn’t have more people than the rest of the state, combined. In 2006, the Census Bureau estimated that Illinois’ population was 12,831,970.
