Voters in the Windy City are not interested in the Illinois Republican primary. From the Chicago Tribune:

Chicago election officials predicted the lowest turnout in a presidential primary in city history.

It was 15 percent at 2 p.m. and the previous low was 32 percent in 1996, said Langdon Neal, chairman of the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners.

The paper points out there was “no big Demoratic citywide primary” to drive Chicago voters to the polls.
