NAPERVILLE COMMUNITY TV
— Uncounted mail-in ballots could be deciding factor in tight DuPage County races
https://www.nctv17.org/news/uncounted-mail-in-ballots-could-be-deciding-factor-in-tight-dupage-county-races/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to Jean Kaczmarek, there are still approximately 18,000 outstanding mail-in ballots left to count. “The processing of the mail ballots is still ongoing and will continue over the next two weeks…There are a couple of races that are tight. Any candidate that is within two percentage points difference can ask for a recount, and that’s their right,” said Kaczmarek. Taking a closer look at some of those tight races in which Naperville voters weighed in: Currently incumbent Democrat William “Bill” White is holding a 2,715 vote lead over challenger Bob Grogan in the race for auditor. In the race for coroner, Democrat Judith Lukas has a slightly larger lead over incumbent Republican Richard Jorgensen, with 5,388 more votes. For the District 3 county board seat, incumbent Democrat Lucy Chang Evans holds a 2,702 vote lead over Republican Baron Leacock. The District 5 county board seat has wider margins, with Democrat Saba Haider with an 8,421 vote lead over incumbent Republican Patty Gustin. But there’s a closer divide for the District 6 county board seat, with Democrat incumbent Greg Schwarze 2,170 votes ahead of Republican challenger Joe Soto. And the tightest race of all is the District 6 Forest Preserve District of DuPage County seat, with Democrat Rick Gieser just 29 votes ahead of Republican incumbent Al Murphy. Official results for DuPage County races will be released on Tuesday, Nov. 19. “A week later, those results will be certified,” Kaczmarek said. DuPage County sees slight dip in voter turnout compared to 2020. DuPage County saw a 72.54% voter turnout for the 2024 general election, a decrease from the 76.55% turnout in 2020. The number of county residents utilizing vote-by-mail decreased from 177,730 in 2020 to 105,090 in 2024. But the number of in-person early voters in the county went up, with 210,419 this year compared to 190,964 in 2020.)

ILLINOIS GOP
— Pritzker Does Damage Control Amid Republican Shift in Illinois
https://illinois.gop/category/news/

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The “my people” who Pritzker refers to share his hatred against Trump and against those who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Pritzker’s people want dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, and Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— The Republican Party leaders of the states that surround Illinois defend and advance the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about Republican Party leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, and Milton Township who reject many, most, if not virtually all of the planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those leaders who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How many voted for Trump in your precinct? While 370 voted for Trump in my precinct, 470 voted for Harris. What should I do to protect the Trump voters in my precinct from Pritzker?  For that matter, what should the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party and your Republican county and township/ward party organizations do to protect Trump voters from Pritzker? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Pritzker and other hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters have tremendous power in Illinois. Because Trump has won the presidency, anticipate/expect that Pritzker and other hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters will destroy Trump voters in your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct. They will stop Trump voters from being hired. They will get Trump voters fired. They will destroy companies and organizations run by Republicans. Anticipate/expect that they will start with Trump voters who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. What should Trump voters do to protect themselves? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— For the races on the ballot in your precinct, how many ballots are still not counted? 18,000 ballots are still not counted for the five countywide races on the ballot in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton including Grogan in the Auditor race who is losing only by 2,715 votes and Jorgensen in the Coroner race who is losing by only 5,388 votes. When the 18,000 ballots are counted, if Grogan gets 2,716 more votes than White, Grogan wins, and if Jorgensen gets 5,389 more votes than Lukas, Jorgensen wins. Further, Grant is winning by only 500 votes in the House District 47 race. – Dave Diersen
