South Illinois Map

Illinois is dominated on every political level by “Chicago” politics.  The Illinois (NR) map is based on consistent county voting patterns going back to the 2012 Presidential election.  Though a majority of counties voted for President Trump in 2016, the population of Greater Chicago overwhelms the rest of the state.  The map image is from Wikipedia and county results of the 2016 Presidential election.  All shades of RED voted for Trump, while all shades of BLUE voted for Clinton.  The Illinois (NR) map took into account voting consistency, geography, and economic viability.
