I live in the Chicagoland area - what is so appalling about the former mayor of Chicago - to whom I refer to as “Darkheart” instead of Lightfoot... she won a majority of the votes that year with ONLY a 30% turnout in the city of Chicago according to a Chicago Tribune article.
When I moved to the Chicagoland area over 3 decades ago I was literally shocked at the apathy of the political arena - they KNOW the elections are stolen for decades & cartoons were showing “dead people voting” - it was referred to as “The Chicago Way”.
I asked why was nothing being done about it?
The response was always - there is nothing we CAN do about it. We vote for a better candidate & the media is in the tank with the Demorats & the Repugnants won’t take a stand & fight - only moderate or somewhat liberal Repugs win every once in awhile fir mayor or Gov.
The one bright spot was when a state Senator by the name of Fitzgerald (a truly respectable businessman from the suburbs) won a term & was amazingly fiscally responsible. He did not chose to run for a second term & that opened the door for a win for a young Obama in the Dem side.
It is a very sad state politically if you are even ven remotely libertarian or somewhat conservative to very conservative.

Detroit is the same way.
Baltimore too
As Chicago goes, the entire state goes. But God sees everything!
