A little more complicated. Took Jim 12 minutes to log-in, but now that he’s here, everything is a-okay. :)

[Salvation]

probably e-gov with the Secretary of State’s office.

That’s what worked in Oregon when the 66-67 tax hikes got passed.....bah!

Which news channel do you recommend?

[Thane_Banquo]

Of the GOP candidates, An-gee-EFF-ski should perform best in Cook County because of the Polish thing. So his votes will come in late. You will probably see a surge for Dillard as votes come in from DuPage.

[Chi-townChief]

Andrzejewski looks good early on.

Who was the candidate endorsed by Lech Walesa? How is he doing?

Andrzejewski. He is Polish, so he'll get a surge when returns come in from Cook County, which will be late. He's a dream candidate for Republicans, honestly. He's conservative, so he can get the support of the base, and he's Polish, so he can get a lot of blue collar voters on the south side. Here's to hoping he wins.

-—”You will probably see a surge for Dillard as votes come in from DuPage.”-—

Bingo.

I am discouraged early, though, as the talk on TV/Radio is that Central Illinois is first in reporting, and that it still looks like a Dillard/McKenna race.

Truth to tell, if they have strength like that downstate, it's going to be one of those two guys.

I hope Adam had votes pouring in late.

[Thane_Banquo]

His votes will come from Cook County.

I don’t vote for people who are unopposed and when I tried to put my completed ballot in the machine it was rejected. A “judge” explained to me that it was rejected because the machine wouldn’t take it if any of the spaces were left blank and asked if I wanted to leave it that way. I told him indeed I did. So he explained to me that he would have to over ride the machine, he acted as if he were aggravated with me for not filling the ballot out all the way. I told him to “over ride away mate”.

Wow, how annoying for him to be aggravated. When I voted, I did NOT vote for those that ran unopposed either (there were also two contests that I didn't know the people running, so I passed on voting for them as well) but mine went through the machine. So we must have different equipment here in DuPage County. Either that, or my votes didn't count, which would be really distressing. No one said anything to me about my ballot.

Stroger is cooked.

It’s over.....he’s done!!!

Not goos that McKenna is still on top with 39% of the downstate precincts reporting....not good......

[onyx]

Yes, starting to take shape. I’m so sorry for Patrick Hughes.

Not good for the incumbant to be this disliked in his own party.

[mlizzy]

This guy, and I hope the Poles got out to the polls in big numbers.

[darkangel82]

It’s just not a good year for Illinois dems.
