How do you figure that? Illinois has 12.7 million people. About 5.2 million live in all of Cook County. Illinois has 17 seats in the House of Representatives. You don’t think a single Republican could even finish in 17th place in an open statewide election?

Unlike a statewide race for senator or governor, the scenario I described is not a “winner take all” election. It’s more like an “everyone gets a gold medal as long as you finish in the top 17” contest.
