The fact that we still use physical signatures as any sort of verification is bizarre.

I saw members of the Eastern Bloc sending out social media messages saying how low turnout in Chicago is so everyone needs to go out and vote Bailey because “this is our time”.

We had 315 total votes for President in 2020 in this precinct. With 30 mins left, we are at 263 (which is higher than 2018 by 70 or so votes). That is a decrease of around 17% from 2020.

Well, not confirmed yet, but with 75% to 25% type numbers, seems like Carbondale will keep home rule, so that's cool.

Suck it, whoever paid for the anti- home rule ads that played before literally every single youtube video for the past month!

What exactly were the arguments for eliminating home rule? It was obviously a hard sell.

My rural downstate county that just voted 77% for Bailey had 41% for the Amendment. Weird level of support for it all over the state.

Landlords can use state guidelines to save more money and therefore raise rents and make more money.

One of the biggest groups opposing home rule was a realtor lobby group.

Amendment 1 May not pass

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

My understanding on the Workers Rights amendment is it needs 60% of votes on the specific question, or 50%+1 of all ballots cast. Last I looked, it's at 58.7% on the question, but 50.4% of all ballots cast, so it's looking like it will squeak by.

Gunna develop a special permit that must be applied for if someone wants to return from Florida. Don't want to spend the next 20 years improving the place only to have the riff raff move back in without helping out.

we had a few assholes down here too, deliberately slowing down the lines by wandering around stinkeyeing people instead of doing their jobs or asking for multiple forms of photo id instead of just one or harassing people in line. The vast majority of them were good but yeah, there were a few obvious monkeywrenchers.

There was a local "newspaper" being mailed out every week called the Chicago City Wire, I say "newspaper" because it was just printed on newspaper stock to look legit but every article was just the most insanely racist or anti LGBTQ+ stuff imaginable. I'm not sure what the game plan for the GOP was, like they thought they could scare monger Chicago into not voting? The reaction seemed to be pretty universal disgust.

It worked on the true believers, my wife's idiot right winger trump loving boss (who also happens to be jewish, I only mention this because I don't understand jewish people who support literal anti-semites) brought it in to show her it and she was like, "are you an idiot, none of this is true". He was so excited for Darren Bailey to win and for the red wave.

I thought the same thing, but apparently he kept a condo and he finally sold that. So it's for real real this time. :rolleyes:

It was Proft's PAC (People Who Play By the Rules!! :jerkbag:) but Dick Uihlein's cash so I'm quite certain the fascist box king will just find a new place to funnel his dark money.
