Are you suggesting non-commies that live in downstate Illinois deserve this because the commies in the big cities do?
Chicago/Cook County politics dictates everything in the state. Trust me; people in Peoria, Decatur, Champaign, LaSalle/Peru, Moline and all the black dirt communities of the state are a breed apart from Chicago-metro. When Governor Rauner defeated Pat Quinn in 2014, it took 4 days to certify the vote. This, despite Rauner carrying 103 counties of 104. The one county he failed to carry? Cook County.
A text book model as to why our Electoral College is so brilliant. The downstaters here are enslaved politically by Chicago/Cook County. If the State had the equivalent of the EC, that stranglehold goes way.
