The only presidential contest with a lower citywide turnout was in 1996 when it dropped to 63.2 percent. In that election, then-incumbent President Bill Clinton easily defeated Republican Bob Dole. Interestingly, Chicago hosted the Democratic National Convention at the United Center in 1996 and 2024.
Funny how that works, fewer fake ballots, and turnout drops.

How do you get people to vote when they already know the outcome? There was no secret as to how Illinois was going to go. Do you think all those people that left Illinois were thrilled with the democrats? When all you have left is leeches, they are not going to vote for the person who wants to separate them from their host.

Hmm.. even having the coronation in town couldn’t gin up enthusiasm for the Dems product.
