Illinois now has a Republican Governor? Hard to believe.
Even Cook County, where they have more registered voters than people

I never though I would see that in my lifetime.
Our republican Governors have been well represented here in the state.
For example, of our last 7 governors 4 have gone to prison and one of those was a Republican.
Being serious though, what I find interesting is that the Libertarian party did pretty well, their candidate got 5% or so. Also, I was an election Judge and as such I had to help tally up the votes for the district which is overwhelmingly Democrat and the votes for the state officers were substantially for the republican candidates.
