— Last Republican standing ends night still on his feet despite Democratic fight to kick him off Cook County Board. With 100% of precincts reporting, Cook County Commissioner Sean Morrison was ahead with 52% of the vote to Democrat Daniel Calandriello’s 48%. Despite his apparent lead, Morrison said he was saddened, as it appeared that Democrats still dominated the County Board. – Kristen Schorsch

— Pritzker scores double-digit win over Bailey — vowing MAGA right wingers ‘will never get an inch of Illinois’ In prewritten remarks sent to reporters, Gov. J.B. Pritzker was prepared to say Bailey had conceded, and it was a sign that democracy works. That appeared to be a rosy scenario. Bailey did not concede until nearly 90 minutes after the governor spoke. – Tina Sfondeles and Emmanuel Camarillo (COMMENT: Of course, the more Democrat candidates who win and the more votes that they get than Republican candidates, the faster that they will use government to get rid of Republicans once and for all starting with Republicans who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, White, male, older, married, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. In my precinct, in the contested races, most of the winning Democrat candidates got around 60% of the vote while most of the losing Republican candidates got around 40% of the vote. What more will Democrats do to get rid of me?)

In my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 in Wheaton, only Gwen Henry for DuPage County Treasurer (175 to158) and Grant Eckhoff for DuPage County Board District 4 (146 to 141) got more votes than their Democrat opponent. The only Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct that won were Eckhoff, Amy Grant for Illinois House, Henry, and Seth Lewis for Illinois Senate.

They will blame the following planks in the Republican Party platform and those like me who support those planks: individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to live, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What do Democrat election victories bring in Illinois, in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your precinct? Democrat election victories bring more poverty, more crime, more dependency on government, more dependency on charity, more LGBTQ, more abortion, more mass/illegal immigration, more booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, more diminishment of First and Second Amendment rights, more patronage, more political affiliation discrimination, more reverse discrimination, and more age discrimination. – Dave Diersen
