I voted in person in Dupage County. The first thing that shows up is the amendment in full screen. It feels different than the rest of the ballot. Someone voting near me did not know what it was. The poll worker said "that's JB's thing". If you skip the vote, it's counted as a No

This ain't passing

So this was my first election voting in DuPage county, quick question: Do we normally have these "cops are giant babies please vote to coddle them" amendments?

I also think it won't pass but anecdotally I will say ive had casual conversations with several very low information voters at work and they all said they voted yes so who knows.

Some aspiring republicans in my family voted against. I think people are just confused.

Some liberal I know (I only mention so you know they probably voted straight ticket D otherwise) posted a meme where it was like "When have we ever had a tax cut in Illinois?" this morning, I assume in celebration of the defeat and I have no words. Ya, they never cut your taxes because if they do then they have to cut everyone's. That's the point ya dingus!

Does anyone have any links handy that break down which areas of the state are growing vs. shrinking?

I recall in the pre-COVID times that there were all kinds of breathless articles about how everyone was leaving the state, etc.

My suspicion is that Chicago/Suburbs was growing and the rest was shrinking, but I dunno where to start looking for something like that.

Counties have been putting out covid numbers, I googled "dupage county covid" to get a link and google even made a hot-spot map so I think you'll get what you want.

This is a really good time to sell everywhere, prices have gone bonkers with the pandemic. Rents are wayyyyyy up too.

Don't loving remind me. Interest rates were so low that you'd basically be paying the same per month no matter how much you borrowed so a house's affordability was whatever it's tax assessment was.
So you had people over-bidding (myself included) on homes, knowing that an extra 20k on the price translated to like 50 bucks a month. So we'd come in ~10k over the list and were, three different times, out bid by more then 20 additional thousand.
Housing market is a mess.

I got a survey call last night and they used it to tell me all these good things about Sean Casten and bad things about Marie Newman. Except the good things were bad and the bad things were good.
(well, except her bribing a rival)

"What's your race?"
"Jewish"
...later...
"Marie Newman voted against Israel and supporting Jews, how terrible was that?"
"Strongly Supportive to vote for her"

Is there a list of all the districts named in the suit? My kiddo goes to a preschool at some local church; they sent out a letter this morning saying that since the local school district is not named in the suit, they are keeping masks - and so the preschool will follow suit.

Some idiot responded "I do see D 62 on the list 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am sorry but this is insane....some schools can go without and some not.....I simply want our little kiddos to see the smile on faces and to breathe and live a regular life...."

They posted an image where the city name was spelled wrong, so I somehow don't think it's an official list. So far I have restrained myself from hitting Reply All and relentlessly mocking them. However, before I do anything, I would like to see an "official" list so I can go that route and say "Not sure where you got your data, here's the list, we're not on it. A big thank you to our preschool for putting the health and safety of our children above petty politics." or some such dreck.

Still wanna really make fun of the lady though.


EDIT: Update: Preschool lady reiterated that the superintendent of the local district likely knows the status of his district, pointed Dumb Lady to the website where the letter was posted openly for all to see, and gently encouraged Dumb Lady to be careful about what sources she is listening to as the name of our city was spelled incorrectly on the image she posted, so it was likely not official.

Good job, Preschool Lady. More tact than I wanted to have about this (as a private citizen). If it was my job, I'd probably show the same level of professionalism, but it's not, so I don't wanna :colbert:

There's an object lesson here about me teaching my kiddo that bullying is not okay, while I am desperate to relentlessly bully Dumb Lady until she logs off. I refuse to learn it, however.

I'm pretty sure they'll have their own mock thread for you.
