I don't know if these results are 100% final, but they look to be close to it since turnout is well over 2016. Could I wait until the results are certified? Yeah, but I'm bored.
Trump winning Orland Township 51 - 48 atm. 3 point swing to Biden from 2016 (it was 51-45). Orland Park will likely just barely hang on to its title as the largest GOP municipality in Illinois, but this year we might have to dive deeper into the precinct results to confirm. The non-Orland, southeastern part of the township has historically been Dem leaning, but it is also the most downscale working class part.
Interestingly, Biden won Barrington Township, in NW Cook County, narrowly. Historically, Barrington has been the most GOP leaning. It voted for McCain by 16 points. That distinction now goes to Lemont Township, which is culturally and geographically far removed from the rest of Cook. If you drove there, you might think that you had left the state. Also, Palos Township voted to the right of Orland Township. First time that has happened from as far back as I can find results.
