Matt Muchowski, chair of the Waukegan Township Democrats, emphasized how the Electoral College system creates a disparity in political attention, stating: "This is emblematic of the limited attention cities outside of swing states receive from presidential campaigns." He believes the system puts disproportionate power into the hands of a few states, pushing candidates to focus their resources where they believe they can make a difference. This phenomenon has left many voters feeling neglected and unheard in the political process.
Muchowski noted, "The lack of attention leaves voters in much of the country feeling as if they and the issues they care about have been sidelined." This sentiment is particularly prevalent in Waukegan, Illinois, a city that feels overlooked due to its geographical location outside critical swing states like Wisconsin. When presidential candidates sidestep these areas, they inadvertently ignore the concerns of voters in communities not deemed politically pivotal.
