Northwest Herald ^ | 11/16/10 | DIANA SROKA

Clerks counting the final ballots said that, barring any legal challenges, they expect to know this afternoon who will represent the 8th Congressional District.

Since election night, the race between Republican Joe Walsh and incumbent Democrat Melissa Bean has remained too close to call. At last count, Walsh was ahead by 347 votes.

About 50 provisional and absentee ballots have yet to be counted in McHenry County, while about 975 ballots are outstanding in Lake County.

In Cook County, 209 absentee and 80 provisional ballots will be counted at 2 p.m. today.

Everyone remembers Melissa Bean, who sends in a THUG to try and intimidate people at a town hall meeting on healthcare, right?

Looks like she may be gone after today...if the voter fraud machine fails....

975 ballots are outstanding in Lake County.

Holding them back to see how many are needed to get a Rat "win"?

This will bring the net gain to +62.

Buerkle will win later this week, bringing it to +63.

Then Altschuler has a decent chance (50/50) to bring it to +64.

Lake Co is mostly GOP — the Cook CO ballots were Bean’s best hope, and they are almost all counted. McHenry is very GOP.

Except for North Chicago and Waukegan -- 130K+ population between them and heavily black and hispanic.

Lake Co may be mostly GOP but I think the Rats are still in charge of the election commission. At least in Tennessee the party in charge of the state legislature decides who runs the county election commissions. It’s kind of odd, but the GOP just took solid control of both houses in Tennessee and there will probably be 95 new county election commissioners.

We are not of little faith. We are just used to the Rats cheating and stealing close elections. And I have no doubt that they tried mightily to steal this one, too.
