Despite previous reports that about 70% of the vote will come from the Chicago are, this is incorrect. Although 70% of the population of Illinois lives in the Chicago area, the vast majority of these people are Democrats, unlikely to vote in the Republican primary.
A more accurate estimate is that about 50-55% of the vote in the Republican primary will come from Chicagoland area and 45-50% will come from downstate. This is more positive news for Rick Santorum since he will likely beat Romney in the downstate counties and lost to Romney in the Chicago area.
