To be fair, the corn isn’t growing in the blue part of Illinois

Never been to Chicagoland? Every empty field is filled in with corn. Smash a gas station flat? Now it’s a cornfield.

Yes it is. As a resident, I can attest that the corn is growing about damn near everywhere.

Multiple counties in Illinois voted in favor of exploring secession from the state because they don’t like how Chicago turns the state blue. It would definitely be a red state without us.

Every state would be a red state without the major cities.

I was just looking at some of the recent voting data by state and one of the southwestern or Western states was only 6k votes from electing Harris. I think there were only about 100k votes total. Maybe it was Oklahoma?

Only because of Chicago & C®ook County. Virtually the rest of Illinois is red.

Not really. There’s a bunch of tiny rural counties with less than 10k people in them that are. Most places are full of normal people. You forget that a lot of people don’t vote, many other people don’t understand what they’re voting for. Most people wouldn’t want anything to do with the Republican party if they understood their policies.

Yup, and Michigan and Wisconsin are swing states. It’s still the vast majority.

still majority yes, but also minnesota is a solid blue state. It’s maybe like a 75/25 split which isn’t that radical.

In fact, of the yellows, there are 3 Democratic, 2 Swing States, and 5 Republican.

I only found Minnesota and Illinois as consistently Democratic voting states. What’s the third?

Edit: I just saw Delaware.

How does Nebraska factor? Last election they were 2 votes blue three votes red.
