— DIERSEN HEADLINE: So far, the DuPage Policy Journal has reported November 6, 2018 election results in 55 precincts of the 130 precincts in Milton Township – precincts 2, 6, 8, 10, 16, 18, 19, 23, 25, 26, 27, 32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 43, 45, 47, 49, 50, 52, 54, 55, 56, 58, 59, 63, 65, 66, 68, 73, 74, 75, 76, 79, 80, 83, 84, 85, 87, 89, 90, 91, 92, 95, 96, 100, 106, 107, 109, and 116. There are many factors that impact election results in a precinct including the demographics of the voters in the precinct. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, Republican candidates on ballots in my Milton Township Precinct 9 would receive many more votes if they were the Republican Precinct Committeeman or if someone who they manipulate/dominate was the Republican Precinct Committeeman.)
