Downstate Illinois' hatred of all things Chicago, including their Democratic party machine, is part of it.

Aside from the state government, Sangamon County is just a very white (84%), medium-sized county of about 200,000 in the Midwest. Those counties tend to vote Republican.

Yet like BRTD said, there are so many other white medium seized counties in Downstate Illinois that tend to vote Democratic.

Wow, Springfield's municipal boundaries are a sight to see.

Just looked it up and god that’s awful. We’re lucky to be in New England where you know exactly where a town ends and they all look good on a map. What’s with the rest of the country? Houston is even worse

Columbus, OH and Madison, WI are pretty bad too.
