Seriously, look at a map of how Illinois voted in 2016. Only one solid blue county (Cook, Chicago). 11 other counties that leaned blue. Rest of the state solid red or mostly red.
Cook County is unreasonably cheated in. 5 to 1 Dem? That's a bit unbelievable, and I would say the same if there were districts that were 5 to 1 republican.

Cook County gave the steal to Kennedy in 1960 (along with some rural counties in TX where LBJ's buddies stuffed the ballot boxes).
