Very interesting to see the hourly vote totals.

In a post-COVID world, is the “pre-work rush” a thing of the past? 50% of voter turnout is 3 pm and later.

Is Bost winning?

Brandon Johnson is the reverse Midas

Wowie makes a snarky, but still strong point

Goodbye Darren Bailey. (Please!)

For now but I wouldn’t bet on it

Apologies for snark

Bost has pulled all the large counties significantly. This race should be called already.

Rich, FWIW I really like the layout, setup, and ease of “Arena.”

Been super easy to follow all night and (at least on my end) zero issues accessing it. Been very helpful.

Thanks for the work you do.

Not sure if my comment didn’t post or if I posted it on wrong thread, but: Rich I wanted to say I like this Arena setup quite a bit. Been easy to use.

===This race should be called already. ===

Agreed.

Oops now I’m seeing it. Apologies.

Comment by Wowie Tuesday, Mar 19, 24 @ 9:25 pm
Whew. Uncounted ballot distribution looked bad to me at 61% - glad to see it looks unlikely IL will send Bailey to DC.

Can’t seem to find any results on IL 102.

Padraig, it’s a write-in race. Gonna be a few days I think. They have to be counted by hand.

Comment by Rich Miller Tuesday, Mar 19, 24 @ 9:47 pm
Thanks Rich!

Flowers wilted tonight. Gardener Welch took care of business.

Comment by Norseman Tuesday, Mar 19, 24 @ 10:09 pm
Speaker Welch - big winner.
Mayor Johnson - big loser

Also I cant find anything on Niemerg?

=== I cant find anything on Niemerg===

Scroll up a few notches.

Wanna know what’s ironic? Had “Remain a Sanctuary City” appeared on the same ballot as “Bring Chicago Home”, there’s a pretty doggone good chance that BCH would’ve passed.
