Could a democrat win a statewide election in Illinois with only Cook County?

[forsythvoter]

If the trends we saw this year at the national level continue (Rs doing better among minority voters / WWC and Ds doing better among high-education suburbanites), I could see a scenario where Democrats in IL need to rely on wins in DuPage and Lake to win statewide because their Cook margins compress a bit and downstate goes hyper Republican.
