Field Report: Wilmette Voting

When I voted this morning the touch screen wasn't available for voting. The Opti-scan device was limited to a special pen. That pen prominently said "Made in Japan." David Orr, that's a low blow.

The Illinois Revue Blog is doing a great job at filling in the political gap left by the demise of the Illinois Leader, with a number of the original contributors there contributing posts. You should go take a look. There's a lot of information about the primary.

Seems that election turnout downstate is as low as it is here. That probably means a Topinka-Birkett ticket for November.
