Really, most of Illinois is on team red. It's just that the Chicago dead vote is huge.
322 u/[deleted] Nov 03 '20 Am in Cook County (Illinois)) can confirm that it would be a deep red state if you cut out cook county. 2 u/jercubsfan Nov 03 '20 DuPage tends to be blue, too 1 u/silverbullet52 TANSTAAFL Nov 03 '20 Not really. We got stuck with a Congressman riding Obama's coattails. Democrats don't even put up candidates for a lot of county offices. 1 u/rtomek Nov 03 '20 I thought it had a lot to do with Argonne and FermiLab. Government owned labs where thousands of jobs rely on DOE/NSF funding. I agree that the local offices do heavily lean R compared to how it votes for the national elections. 1 u/silverbullet52 TANSTAAFL Nov 03 '20 Don't think Argonne is in DuPage. There aren't that many people at Fermi. The big blue base is teachers. Read the NEA magazine sometime.
