Does Chicagolands huge population kill democracy for downstate IL?
Forgive me… this whole topic, while interesting, is a mute point till everyone in the state can finally figure out just where downstate is. I grew up in the northern most part of Little Egypt, and hardly consider Peoria and Springfield downstate. Peoria to me is north, and Springfield North Central. I always thought that downstate was south of Hwy 50 or I-64.
