* Dave McKinney of WBEZ reported earlier this month…
In one matchup, ex-Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran, a Republican, faces Democratic Lake County Judge Elizabeth “Liz” Rochford. The 2nd Supreme Court District covers Kane, Lake and McHenry counties as well as DeKalb and Kendall counties. […]
Asked who won the 2020 presidency, [Mark] Curran told WBEZ, “It’s kind of irrelevant, but Joe Biden won the election.” But in a Jan. 3, 2021, Facebook post, Curran circulated now-debunked claims about vote fraud in the presidential elections.
* The Curran post…
* A little more from the above post…
Despite the fact 18 more states signed on to Texas’ petition, the Supreme Court dismissed the case, citing lack of standing. Only Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a student of history, compared the long list of anomalies to another election nearly 200 years in the past.
“The more data comes out on vote anomalies that clearly are not legitimate the more it looks like 2020 may be the biggest presidential theft since Adams and Clay robbed Andrew Jackson in 1824.” Gingrich tweeted. “State legislatures should demand recounts.”
* But, wait, there’s more where that came from…
* Note the date below the video on his “Who knows what 2021 will bring” Dec 30, 2020 post…
* Here’s a link to Curran’s Dec 14 post about China’s alleged influence on the 2020 election.

Not a surprise to Lake County people. Mark Curran has always been a problem. It will be a disaster if he is elected to the Supreme Court.

What a hack. This guy isn’t qualified to hear red light/green light cases in traffic court, much less be elected to the Illinois Supreme Court.

As been said, when people show you who they are, believe them.

Like Darren Bailey, this guy will be a gift that keeps on giving.

Kinda hard to pivot to the center with all that MAGA baggage weighing you down, Mark. Just sayin.

I’m hoping to see some Rochford commercials one of these days because this guy is just a travesty of a candidate for the State’s highest court.

I’ve started seeing digital ads, finally. Hoping for a more organized effort.

- Norseman - is on it “Vote Accordingly”
The reason it’s an oppo dump is exactly why being an election deniers and conspiracy theorists is bad… it’s a losing thing to be when facing voters not all part of the cult.

Mark Curran’s views make him a poor choice for a spot on the Illinois Supreme Court. Objectivity does not exist in Curran’s lexicon.
Perhaps a government pension is the motivating factor in his desire for a spot on the bench.

If Noot says there are “anomalies” then please show your math. If Currant knows something then he should show his proof.

Sad part is Dan Shanes was a thoughtful and completely electable guy and the base went with this B.S. Sometimes you have to end up in the gutter before you wake up and address the problem.

Funny all the MAGA types are silent on this one…
- Demoralized - Thursday, Sep 29, 22 @ 2:54 pm:
It’s been two years since the election and not one shred of evidence has been presented to shows massive voter fraud. Yet you have a large number of idiots out there that still believe it. And one of those idiots could potentially become an Illinois Supreme Court justice. I truly do not understand the intelligence of people who would cast a vote for someone like that. It’s boggles my mind.
