TINLEY 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' 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 Democratic 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' urban centers, such as Chicago, Springfield and Metro East, where some St. Louis suburbs are scattered into Illinois across the Missouri River. The last time Illinois went red was during the 1988 presidential election between George H.W. Bush and Michael Dukakis, ending a Republican electoral winning streak of six presidential elections that also included 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980 and 1984. So how did Trump's support in Tinley Park compare with his vote totals in 2016, when he was running against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? According to the 2020 election results available from the Cook County Clerk, Trump received 23,869 votes in Orland Township, which includes the Cook County portion of Tinley Park. A total of 18,454 votes went to Joe Biden. In 2016, Trump received 24,841 within Orland Township. Clinton trailed behind the president with 21,711 votes. A total of 69,263 voted for president within the township in 2016. As a result, the president received 972 more votes in 2020 than he did in 2016.
