EVERGREEN PARK, IL — As expected, Illinois turned blue for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election, who became the projected winner over President Donald Trump on Saturday. Illinois voters put 20 electoral votes in Biden's pocket on Nov. 3. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won Illinois's 20 electoral votes over Trump by 16.9 percentage points. With approximately 90 percent of the state's votes counted in 2020, unofficial vote tallies show Biden overcoming Trump by 13.2 percentage points, according to the Washington Post. The results are taking longer this year because of the large number of mail-in ballots. Illinois has voted Democrat in the past six presidential elections. Barack Obama won by 16.9 percentage points in 2012. Most of the state's Democratic votes are clustered around Illinois's urban centers, such as Chicago, Springfield and Metro East, where some St. Louis suburbs spill across the Illinois-Missouri border. The last time Illinois voted red during the 1988 presidential election between George H.W. Bush and Michael Dukakis, ending a Republican electoral winning streak of six presidential elections in 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984 and 1988. So how did Trump's support in Evergreen Park compare with his vote totals in 2016, when he was running against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? Trump picked up four more votes in 2020 than Evergreen Park voters gave him in 2016. Clinton did better four years ago than Biden did in 2020, snagging 656 more votes. Here is a precinct-by-precinct comparison of how Donald Trump fared in 2016 and 2020.
