Turnout low; confusion high **[Illinois Primary Election]**

[TheRightGuy]

ABC7 News, Chicago, is reporting some that polling places in Niles and Chicago will remain open until 9PM.

I smell rats .... DemonRats!

[Dengar01]

I just hope that the Dems aren't going to vote for Corrine Wood. I have a bad feeling that a bunch of Dems will vote in the Republican primary to elect Corrine Wood. Think about it if Wood wins then there is no chance for a decent Governor.

[TheRightGuy]

some that = that some

[TheRightGuy]

if Wood wins then there is no chance for a decent Governor

She is toast.
She has alienated every Republican I know, and the Dems can't stand her either.

She is the weakest link ... GOODBYE!

[watcher1]

Have these guys voted yet?

THEY'RE CANADIANS YOU IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!
sorry I mean canuckistanis

Read the sign!! It's in frog!

[cmsgop]

Who you callin IDIOT????????

BTW You Have Bird Doo on your jacket......

[freedom4me]

What? Why are the polls staying open that late?

[watcher1]

Who you callin IDIOT????????

I was just pointing out that the photo is not a photo of Americans
If you will read the sign, you will see that it is clearly written in French, not English.

It's a photo of canuckistani bums

[spanky_mcfarland]

"...she makes me want to puck.

Let's keep the Blackhawks out of this.

[cmsgop]

There is no way I could tell that from looking at that pic.

I see "plus tax" and what does "Mardis" mean.

To me it could be a Refreshing Spring Douche avalible at Saks Fith Ave for all I know.

[freedom4me]

Please, keep posting the results as they come in.

[jackbill]

In DuPage County, more than 100 voters complained they didn?t notice the ballot was two-sided until too late,

What are the odds that this was the DemocRAT ballot????

[watcher1]

I see "plus tax" and what does "Mardis" mean.

No you see Plus Taxes
Mardis is Tuesday.

From the looks of it, it's probably a McDonalds in Quebec.
The bums also look french canuckistani

[cmsgop]

Well Thanks for the Lesson then.

[freedom4me]

This is a primary election. If there's a problem with the Republican ballot, then the fault lies with the Republicans, not the Democrats. The election judge should have given the voters info about the ballot.

[firebrand]

How is Jill Stanek doing against Renee Kosel in district 81? Or how can I check results?

Hey now, it's polliticaly incorrect to refer to them as homeless democrats. They are properly refered to as democrats on vacation.

[Faithfull]

DuPage county was once a Republican stronghold. The scary fact is that about 50% voted for Gore in the last election and recently, Democrat candidate signs were everywhere. It's only a matter of time unless the apathetic in DuPage wake up and get moving and pro active. Sad but true...you wouldn't recognize it today. It's changing to socialism like the rest of the state.
