#4 Chicago's population has fallen to what it was in 1910. Illinois saw an increase of about a half a million people between 2000 and 2010 while the city of Chicago and Cook County lost 200,418.

What that means is that the political influence of Chicago within the state of Illinois is falling. It has slightly less influence on elections than it had at its peak population (and thereby political influence) in 1960 because it has a declining portion of the overall population of Illinois.

#5 Well, to be accurate, lowest since 1910. It was a little lower in 1910 but higher in 1920.

#9 ...in Chicago that only applies to Republicans cause someone has got to pay taxes. Donks don't care if you're alive or dead, just as long as you vote Donk.

#11 Of course - if you include all the dead, felons, and imaginary friends - Chicago has more influence on elections than ever before!
