Background
After having been strongly Republican during the “System of 1896” apart from a few areas in the southern part of the state that had sympathised with the Confederacy during the Civil War,[1] Illinois became a critical swing state throughout the New Deal era, having voted for the winner of every presidential election since 1920.
Like other states in the Midwest, Illinois had been severely affected by racial tension during the presidency of Lyndon Johnson,[2] which had allowed Charles H. Percy to gain a comfortable win in an open Senate race following the retirement of Paul Douglas, in spite of the fact that Illinois, especially the Metro East, was affected less than states to its east.[3]
Primaries
Both major parties held non-binding state-run preferential primaries on June 11. All candidates were write-ins.[4][6]

General election
By the time the election campaign was in full swing at the end of the summer, Democratic nominee and incumbent Vice-President Hubert Humphrey was clearly in serious trouble, and early polling suggested he would have little chance in the state.[7] Humphrey was further hindered by the refusal of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley Sr. to help him.[8]
The failure of Nixon’s “50 State Strategy” in 1960 led him to focus on a few electoral-vote-rich states, of which Illinois was one of the most critical.[9] Humphrey lost further in polling during September,[10] and at tend of the first week of October Nixon had a substantial lead.[11] Nevertheless, when the Vice-President campaigned alongside rival former and future Alabama Governor George Wallace,[12] he would gain sharply so that state became extremely close at the beginning of November.
Results
Republican candidate Richard Nixon won the state of Illinois by a narrow margin of 2.93%.[13] The winning of Illinois was the moment that sealed a close and turbulent election for Nixon,[14][15] who in the last counting did much better in massively populated Cook County than Goldwater or Nixon himself in 1960.[14]
Nixon won ninety of Illinois’ 102 counties, with Humphrey winning only Cook and St. Clair Counties with absolute majorities, although he carried several other Metro East and southern Illinois counties where he was helped by the backing of unions and a strong vote for Wallace taking much Nixon support. Wallace’s segregationism also went down very poorly in many cities of that latter urban region.[16]

Notes
- Although he was born in California and he served as a U.S. Senator from California, in 1968 Richard Nixon’s official state of residence was New York, because he moved there to practice law after his defeat in the 1962 California gubernatorial election. During his first term as president, Nixon re-established his residency in California. Consequently, most reliable reference books list Nixon’s home state as New York in the 1968 election and his home state as California in the 1972 (and 1960) election.
gollark: I opened an instance to the internet for demo purposes, including to a bunch of esolang programmers, and it's actually overrun with self replicating notes now.
gollark: I have my own custom webapp for note taking which I never actually use. It's also stuck eternally at about 80% finished like all my programming projects.
gollark: Someone find me a line segment.
gollark: Are there also zom-bees?
