Lager posted:I didn't see that at my location (also 18th) but it was straight up empty in there. Interested to see what the turnout numbers were like today, been hearing lower than anticipated. My polling place is in a very Republican area and I was only voter 56 by lunch. So yeah I'd say it was low.

Berrios is down 35% to 43% with 5% in. I'm watching the Chicago Sun-Times livefeed here: https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/illinois-primary-election-2018-results-analysis-live-updates/

43% Pritzker 30% Biss 25% Kennedy with 22% in, Biss in second, that's better than expected. 5th district 55 precincts reporting. Lamont Robinson leads 39-28% Ken Duncan's at 18% Just over half reporting. Open seat; used to be Pritzker's lt. gov's. Rauner 53% Ives 47% with 8% reporting, wow that's closer than it should be. Pritzker 44% Biss and Kennedy tied at 27% with 8% in. 42 of 72 precincts reporting Erin Ortiz 53% is ahead of Dan Burke (brother of Ed Burke this is gonna be an upset if it happens) Looks like its between Quinn and Raoul, Raoul's currently leading for atty gen 29-25%. Fairley 13% Rotering 12% On the Rep side Erika Harold's walking away with it with 63% of the vote. Oracle fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Mar 21, 2018 |

Looks like Newman just took a small lead. Looking at the precincts left, it seems to be in counties where Newman's been doing better than Lipinski, so hopefully that'll work out.

Hey just went and voted so I remembered to look up the pamphlet/book thingy that Ive's campaign randomly sent me https://ivesforillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Rauner-Book_Cover-Plus-2-pages-Per-Sheet-Version_PDF_25-pages-2018-02-20.pdf Chapter 3 is fun times- Rauner is some kinda social Democrat cuck and his wife wears the pants or something? I dunno lol

Then again, this brings in so much money for corrupt people in power. Like it's insane how many people are connected to this scam. I legit thought they'd pull some shenanigans on election day to keep it going.

Rauner's people have to be piiiiisssseeed right now. He's going to win, but goddamn 52-48 or 51-49 is an embarrassing show of no-confidence for a sitting governor.

Well aside for a few upsets looks like establishment Dems ran the table. On the plus side Dem turnout was really darn high and republican turnout low, Rauner got a serious vote of no-confidence, and while I don't see anyone being all that hung ho to volunteer for Pritzker he'll infuse a bunch a money into the state hiring election workers so at least people gonna get paid and I haven't heard a peep from anyone about staying home on Election Day.

Lipinski isn't very progressive but lets not get carried away. It's sad he won but he's not a Republican. I was hoping Newman would pull it out but the one argument for Lipinski is he has a lot of power being on the transportation committee and if the Dems take back the House I guess he could really bring some money back to the district. It wouldn't get my vote still but I can understand it if you are a constituent.

My choices were between "Dude who always runs but never wins," "Actually a Republican," and "Dude who doesn't seem to even be running and who might be on the ballot by mistake." This Junius Rodriguez guy is so uninspiring. We are completely screwed, per usual. Real fun feeling to know that the guy who tried to pass a bill that would kill me will have a nice long career.

We had a ballot option referendum thing (yes/no) "Do we want to move from an elected auditor to an appointed auditor" and I really didn't know how to answer that one. Is one option considerably better than the other?
