What I've got so far:










EDIT: BELOW SHOULD READ "DURBIN" and "OBERWEIS"

I'd be interested to see the swing for Governor from 2010-2014.

Thanks, Green Line!

I've merged my city-by-ward and suburb-by-township maps for a full map of Cook County.

Such a beautifully Democratic county. Outliers are Barrington in the NW - a rural wealthy suburb. Lemont and Orland in the SW - rural and white working class.

Other than that a whole lot of Democratic red. Biggest change since the 80s is in the northern portions. Skokie, Evanston, New Trier, Northfield, Wheeling, Schaumburg, etc would have been mostly to solid GOP 30 years ago - now solid Dem.

I think Wheeling, Schaumburg, and the surrounding suburbs still lean slightly R; the reason they're solid D here is mostly favorite son effect.

BTW, where do you get your templates?  I'd like to try to work on a statewide map for Illinois.

Do you know where I could get a statewide map?

Do you know where I could get a statewide map?

Of what exactly - townships, precincts, counties, localities, etc?

Townships and/or precincts.

btw, how did Rauner win Aurora?

He made serious inroads with Hispanics.

The IL State Board of Elections collects pdfs of precinct maps from each county. Usually it's by township. Some cities have independent election commissions so they are separate from the county. The collection can be found at

Rauner did pretty well with Hispanics for a Republican, but it was mostly due to the white areas of Aurora having way higher turnout. 

How would white turnout improve his numbers with Hispanics?  Are you comparing white Hispanics to the non-white ones?
