GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— In your precinct, how many votes did the Republican candidates get versus their Democrat (D) opponent? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

In my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton:

— 370 for Donald J. Trump, U.S. President and JD Vance, Vice President versus 470 for the D
— 433 for John Booras, U.S. Congressman, 3rd Congressional District versus 417 for the D
— 439 for Amy Grant, Illinois Representative, 47th District versus 422 for the D
— 654 for Bob Berlin, Illinois State’s Attorney, DuPage County (unopposed)
— 440 for Jaye Wang, DuPage County Clerk of the Circuit Court versus 404 for the D
— 468 for Bob Grogan, DuPage County Auditor versus 374 for the D
— 492 for Richard Jorgensen, DuPage County Coroner versus 344 for the D
— 445 for Nicole Prater, DuPage County Recorder versus 388 for the D
— 452 for Annette Corrigan, DuPage County Board, District 4 versus 390 for the D
— 451 for Jeff Castle, DuPage County Forest Preserve Commissioner, District 4 versus 396 for the D
— 434 for Kenton Skarin, Appellate Court Judge, 3rd Judicial District versus 413 for the D
— 422 for Jason Helland, Appellate Court Judge, 3rd Judicial District versus 423 for the D
— 446 for John Costello, Appellate Court Judge, 3rd Judicial District versus 396 for the D

— In your precinct, how many voted for the D candidates to punish Trump?

— In your precinct, how many voted for the D candidates because they promised to use government to give more preference to those who shared their demographics?

— In your precinct, how many voted for the D candidates because they want more dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, further diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and/or Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, reparations, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination?

In your county, how many votes did the Republican candidates get versus their Democrat (D) opponent?

In DuPage County:

— 189,159 for Trump/Vance versus 245,192 for the Ds
— 40,507 for Booras versus 42,869 for the D
— 29,531 for Grant versus 29,031 for the D
— 327,517 for Berlin (unopposed)
— 201,791 for Wang versus 231,119 for the D
— 213,885 for Grogan versus 216,600 for the D
— 211,513 for Jorgensen versus 216,901 for the D
— 201,838 for Prater versus 226,408 for the D
— 34,761 for Corrigan versus 38,085 for the D
— 33,903 for Castle versus 37,671 for the D
— 199,973 for Skarin versus 233,946 for the D
— 194,808 for Helland versus 238,809 for the D
— 204,516 for Costello versus 227,034 for the D

What adverse actions are those in your county, township, and municipality who voted for Harris going take against those who voted for Trump?

In Illinois, far too few Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders defended Trump let alone promoted him. What are the hate-filled Trump-hating Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in your county going to do in response to Trump’s victory? Of course, they will blame Trump for the Republican defeats in your county.
