DuPage update - 10:49pm
With 66% 70% of the precincts in, the referendum just picked up another 500 800 votes. Current tally:
Yes: 10,708 (59.3%)
No: 7,357 (40.7%)
And Cegelis and Duckworth were neck and neck for a bit, now Tammy has a 100+ vote lead in DuPage and a 300+ vote lead in Cook. Not a done deal by any stretch.
Referendum update
Will County’s results are in. 7,053 in favor of the referendum, 4,212 opposed. That’s a 2800 vote margin. In DuPage, 49% of the precincts are in, and it’s a dead heat: 2689 in favor, 2694 opposed.
Without knowing which DuPage precincts are left, this is still very much in the air. But I prefer a 2,800 […]
IL-06 update
Wow. Just 20 votes out of 12,000 separate Christine and Tammy in DuPage (with 48% reporting), and Tammy has just a 300 vote lead in Cook county with 43% reporting. Don’t know how the other precincts match up, but I think this is much, much closer than anyone predicted.
DuPage results update
More info coming in:
30% of 204 precincts reporting: 550 vote margin, 58% to 42% Yes. Cegelis/Duckworth is a horse race: With 44% of the 6th District precincts reporting, Tammy’s at 4550 and Christine’s at 4440. 110 vote margin out of 11,000 cast. Wow. Much closer than I thought it would be. Shannon has an 8 point lead […]

No more info from DuPage, but Will is now showing a 2500 vote margin in favor of the 3rd high school referendum in School District 204.
Other Will results:
Joe Shannon has a sizable lead over Bill Reedy, 58% to 42%. Nick Palmer’s effort at becoming the next state central committeeman for the 13th is failing behind incumbent […]
Referendum update
Interesting. Last year’s referendum (which lost) passed by a narrow margin in Will County — just about 600 votes. So far, there’s a 2000 vote margin in favor of the referendum in Will; It failed in DuPage by about 1500 votes. With DuPage showing a slight bias in favor of the referendum so far, and […]

Referendum results
Dupage Results hasn’t yet started reporting anything (could this be more fun with Diebold?), but Will County is reporting a bunch. With 25% of the precincts in District 204, it’s 2-1 in favor of the referendum so far.
Shannon’s leading Reedy by about 15% in the race for Congress in the 13th District.
Candace Parker dunked in the NCAA tournament
I love it. When she won the dunk competition against the boys a couple years ago as a high school senior, it was only a matter of time that Naperville native Candace Parker would dunk in a college game.
She picked a heck of a time to do it: in the first round of the women’s […]
Supporting the 204 Referendum
I’ve been remiss in talking about a local issue that is before the voters in Naperville on Tuesday. Our school district (Indian Prairie School District 204) has again put a bond referendum on the ballot asking whether we can build a third high school. We have two high schools currently (Waubonsie and Neuqua Valley) that […]
