You're confusing chitcago, all points north of Interstate 80 and metro east St. Louis with the rest of the state where we live and where the 2 dirt mile's are located. chitcago and metro east St. Louis elects the governor, a ruling majority of the legislature, the 2 U.S. Senator's and most all of the state wide political positions, both elected and appointed.

Those of us in God's Country south of I-80 are held hostage by the People's Republic of chitcago & metro east St. Louis. They make the rules and those of us who, for career reason's, can not move are forced to live by them.

There are 102 counties in "The Land O' Lincoln & crooked politicians" and it requires less than 5 of those 102 counties to override the will of the rest of the 97 or 98 in statewide elections. We desperately need a county by county electoral college ******** system.

I fully realize and understand what you're saying but please don't lump all of us in with the urban inbred's of chitcago and metro east St. Louis, thank you.
