DUPAGE COUNTY ELECTION DIVISION
— Election Results DD: About 105,000 voted for a Democrat U.S. Senate candidate while only about 46,000 voted for a Republican U.S. Senate candidate. About 100,000 voted for Pritzker while only about 47,000 voted for a Republican gubernatorial candidate. According to the DCED website, 331 (30.48%) of the 1,086 registered voters in my Milton 59 precinct voted. I got 120 votes. I anxiously await posting of how many Republican and Democrat ballots were cast in my precinct and how many votes each candidate got in my precinct. I anxiously await a listing of those voters who cast Republican ballots. I want to hand-deliver a precinct letter to them that thanks them for voting and gives them election results.

NEW YORK TIMES

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/us/elections/illinois-primary-elections-takeaways.html
— How Many Americans Are Marriage Material? DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly destroy traditional marriage. What helped you become marriage material? By the time I got married when I was 29 in 1978, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $110,066/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/29/opinion/marriage-kearney.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It used to be that an overwhelming majority of Americans married, and an overwhelming majority of American children were raised within two-parent families. Over the past six decades this has changed. Now, roughly 40 percent of children are born outside of wedlock and about a quarter live in single-parent homes. The share of Americans who are married has fallen significantly since 1960, with a further decline portended by the marriage rates of the younger generations.)
— Florida University Bars Student G.O.P. Group. DD: I should write about my critics/opponents who had their operatives and their dupes destroy the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) in 2007 and TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012. They ever-increasingly blamed ICRC and TAPROOT for Republican defeats. They ever-increasingly blamed conservative principles and the conservative planks in the Republican Party platform for Republican defeats. I served as an ICRC officer 2003-2007 and as the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012.
