United States presidential election in Illinois, 2012
(詳細は2012 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated. Illinois voters chose 20 electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden, against Republican challenger and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan. The Obama/Biden ticket won Illinois with 57.60% of the popular vote to Romney/Ryan's 40.73%, thus winning the state's 20 electoral votes by a margin of 16.87%.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Illinois Board of Elections )〕
Obama's victory in Illinois was due to an overwhelmingly strong vote total in Cook County, which includes Illinois' largest city, Chicago. Obama won Cook County by 74%, receiving 1,488,537 votes, compared to Romney who received only 24.6% of the votes in Cook County, or 495,542 votes.〔http://www.uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/datagraph.php?fips=17&year=2012&off=0&elect=0&f=0〕 The importance of the vote in Chicago and the rest of Cook County to Obama's victory in Illinois can be illustrated by a hypothetical scenario in which its votes are not included in the overall state total. If one were to subtract all of the votes in Cook County from Illinois' total votes cast, Romney would have actually won Illinois, having received 1,629,863 votes (50.62%) in the rest of the state, compared to Obama, who received 1,524,886 votes (47.36%). This, despite Obama's good performance in the suburban collar counties, which are considered swing counties.
Obama's victory continued a Democratic winning streak in the state - the Democratic candidate has carried Illinois through the previous six election cycles. The last Republican to win Illinois in a Presidential Election was George H.W. Bush in 1988.
