Is there a good election tracker for all the local IL stuff?

I guess I thought all the counting in IL was done already. Guess not.

I think ballots can come in still, so long as they were postmarked by election day.

It looks like the statewide Illinois board of elections does not post unofficial/preliminary counts, but the counties do.

Illinois State Board of Elections posted:

Unofficial local results are not reported to the State Board of Elections or posted to the Agency's website. Unofficial Election Day results may be obtained by accessing the local jurisdiction's website as provided. Some jurisdictions do not have web sites; phone numbers are provided for all jurisdictions.

Lauren's district is split across like 7 counties, so checking each local election board would probably be annoying. I know DuPage has its own reporting site if you want that: https://www.dupageresults.com/IL/DuPage/106122/web.264614/#/summary.

I checked Decision Desk HQ last night and it appeared to have her in the lead before some of the other websites. I hope she can hold on to it. If you click too far into their HUD it will take you to a paywall, but highlighting her district shows the totals. I had trouble making it work on my phone without hitting the paywall, for what it's worth.

It's believed that the outstanding ballots are from the more Democratic areas of Lake County, so she's in good shape.

Illinois accepts ballots postmarked Nov. 3rd until Nov. 17th. So technically no official results til then.

Edit: 17th, my bad.

That’s awesome, I didn’t know this.

Really makes Wisconsin seem despotic by comparison - mail-in ballots must be received by the time polls close or else you’re SOL. And SCOTUS approved that right before Election Day, too.

Local 150 are right wing suburban white dudes. Supporting Madigan makes sense.

CTU claim to be the most progressive union in Chicago and support anti-machine candidates. They had no reason to say anything at all.

That's awesome. On the downside, Oberweis is lovely enough that he's going to live to be a hundred and six, and he's going to continue running for office(s) until the very end. We are never going to be rid of this pest until that point.

So there's a couple of houses I pass by on my commute that have yard signs up that just say "Pritzker Sucks," and it's only now, after the election, that it dawns on me that he wasn't even on the ballot this year, those signs only exist for Lib Owning purposes.

Yep. They are everywhere down here in southern Illinois. There is also one that calls him “fat boy”.

They started appearing during the lockdown and they are literally just “impotent rage” in stupid sign form.

Cannot wait for their continued usage until 2022 when Darren Bailey leads a glorious rural revolution!

The local Facebook group chuds feel calling him Prickzer is a major own. Despite the results that show 64% of the town voted for Biden, they still act like they're the majority.

That's because they're constitutional originalists. They only believe votes are legal if they come from white landowning men.

Anyone know how much Oberweis has wasted on all of his campaigns? Dude just needs to suck it up and move downstate where he actually stands a chance. I hope he doesn’t though because I’d rather see him flail around and lose.
