Where does New Orleans/Louisiana rank?
Louisiana has been topping the FBI corruption index for 20+ years. I doubt that's changed now.
Where does New Orleans/Louisiana rank?
New Orleans and Newark.
Everyone else plays it amateurishly.
illinois does not equal chicago.
On the contrary, IL is a very red state. Cook County and St. Claire County just fuck it all up. Outside of the two corrupt bungholes of the state (Chicago and East St. Louis), it is very red. I know what you meant though.
Also, it shouldn't be surprising that these same two cities (plus Peoria) happen to have their own dedicated election boards outside the county election boards. Kinda screams corruption right there.
You realize that's true of basically every state, right? Suburban and rural areas tend to be conservative. Urban areas are usually very liberal. The reason why those areas 'fuck up' the state is because so much of the actual population lives there.
The data is based on Public corruption Convictions.
I'd wager my city/state has more corruption, we just aren't as good as Chicago when it comes to putting our corrupt politicians in jail.

Good job ignoring my last statement. This is the reason why, at least in the case of IL, things are all fucked up. Well done sir.
Thanks? I wasn't addressing your last statement, I was addressing your first. Why would I not ignore statements that I wasn't referring to?
I'll try to clip your quotes more carefully in the future to avoid confusion. What I was telling you was that of course Illinois is a red state if you take out the cities. Every state is a red state if you take out the cities. The only problem with that is cities are where most people live.
Care to back that up? Also your last sentence is strange. Problem not found.
No, I don't care to go pull voter registration information on party ID for every urban congressional district in America. It's possible that maybe a state like Vermont or perhaps Hawaii would stay blue even without its cities but they would be large exceptions.
What I wrote isn't a controversial idea at all. Urban areas vote Democratic.
Especially when they get their one elections board separate from the less urban areas that encompass their voting block.
Pretty sure CA has NJ topped.
Chicago is run by Dems but Illinois Republicans are corrupt as well. Remember George Ryan?

Completely unsurprising. The amount of cronyism that goes on around here is staggering. I would not trust ANY politician that comes from Chicago or it's surrounding area.
No other state can brag that 4 out of their last 7 governors have been jailed. None.
Blago has eclipsed everything Ryan did, who's main corruption was illegal CDL's I beleive.
LA is #2 with 3 I beleive
what blago did was NOTHING compared to what Ryan did. Ryans schemes caused the death of a 2 adults and 6 children. Giving licenses to people who neither had the skill or training and allowing them to drive a semi is far far worse then trying to sell a damn seat in the government.
