What to expect tonight

Posted in:

Illinois

* I’m partnering with Scott Kennedy at Illinois Election Data to give you live vote total updates right here on the blog. There will likely be three separate posts, one for state legislative races, one for statewides and congressionals and the other for a list of declared winners and any commentary I may throw in.

We’ll crank things up around 7:30, so I’ll see you later tonight!

That’s great news! I’m proud to be a subscriber. You’re a true asset to the State of Illinois.

Primary evening was great here. Looking forward to watching results come in here tonight.

Dems win big. Hillary wins bigly. Kirk embarasses himself. Madigan picks up the McAuliffe seat. Mendoza wins easily. Rauner, Proft, and ILGOP lick their wounds and contemplate their existence in a blue state.

I’ll get the results at 3am when I get up for work. Hoping for the best.

Is like what happens when you mix mentos and diet coke?

7.30. Kennedy’s BAC.

Rhino, a lot of people contemplate their existence in this blue state, as it becomes a terrible train wreck instead of just a train wreck.

Does Scott’s writing slur too?

Loving God thank you! Last election it took me forever to find what I was looking for. I appreciate it!

The campaign ads have finally ceased, at last!! I feel like we’re in the eye of the hurricane, before election results start coming through.

===The campaign ads have finally ceased, at last!===

Saw a Trump ad at the barber shop earlier today.

Thanks, Rich! Answers my previous question in another post.

Over under on how many Trump lawsuits?

Thanks Rich. It’s like you are going to be handing out meth to a bunch of addicts.

Lots of “took the whole family to vote today”. Heard while phone banking…

Thanx Rich! You’re the best!

Scott,

Your Twitter is a must. Great work this entire cycle, best of luck tonight, and a great pairing with Rich.

Thanks Rich. I tried without success to find a site that would have all state races. Much easier than going to the individual county sites when there are larger districts as well as state wide races.

And Rich, KMOX was still airing ads as of a half hour ago.

Thank a loving God I can skip the networks tonight! It is like they have severe ADHD!

Great call Rich!
