Plus Peoria, Rockford, Champaign and the Quad Cities don't vote Republican.

3/4 you named are quite industrial and Champaign has a large university.

Rockford and Peoria BARELY voted for Hillary, and the surrounding counties that make up their metro areas voted very, very Republican (and usually do).  Champaign, while usually Democratic due to the U of I, is noticeably less Democratic than areas like Iowa City.  Rock Island County (Quad Cities), however, is pretty solidly Democratic.

Um...Peoria County went to Hillary. If Peoria BARELY went to her and the areas around it voted very, very Republican...

The counties around Peoria County that make up the rest of the metro area are very Republican.  Peoria County barely went to Hillary.  The city of Peoria, for being 30% Black, was extremely close.
