Trump won the 19th Precinct in the 24th Ward 594-572 (49%-47%), with 47 people voting for RFK, Jr. Four years ago, Joe Biden won that precinct with 96 percent of the vote, to Trump’s 3.

Chuy Garcia won it 767-255 with another 139 for Ed Hershey, the Working Class Party candidate.

The Democratic Cook County State’s Attorney candidate Eileen O’Neill Burke beat Republican Bob Fioretti 680-319 (61%-28%), with 124 people voting for Andrew Charles Kopinski, the Libertarian.

The statewide non-binding referendum for a tax on annual income over a million dollars to be used for property tax relief passed 68 percent to 32 percent.

And the Assisted Reproductive Healthcare Advisory Question passed 87 percent to 13 percent.

…Adding… Just a note to clarify that the jail doesn’t comprise the entire precinct. Some could get that impression from the headline.

Evidence that the SAFE-T Act is working?

Totally checks out. Should warm Donnie ELgin’s heart too.

File under ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’.

Looking at the maps last night in Will County, the millionaire tax failed in a single precinct within Joliet. The gated community where the mayor lives.

A jail is not a prison.

I have spent a long career as an attorney representing clients who live at the Cook County Jail. It should be no suprise to anybody, except for a few blindly idealistic progressive activists, that they are the most grotesquely misogynistic group of young men that you will ever encounter in your life.

Heard of recidivism?

This is the same elitism politics that made the Republican Party the new party of the oligarch working class. I hope you made off with money this election cycle.

Wow. Is it just me, or shouldn’t this be a big national story?

I need a translator for Toby’s last comment.

Based on the conclusions drawn in the comments to this post, I’ve determined that Trump is slightly more felonious than Harris, but much less so than Biden and that misogynists are very likely to support the Assisted Reproductive Healthcare Advisory Question. But its very possible that we’re reading too much into what only amounts to an interesting anecdote.

It means you should come down from your ivory tower.

Oligarch working class? haha. Quite literally a term that cannot exist but for entirely ignoring the meaning of the words that comprise it. Always fun to see the linguistic updates from high school social studies classes.
