Polls close in Illinois in 1 hour, NYT is tracking all the races here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...elections.html

Looks pretty fucking boring with 25% reporting - Pritzker, Rauner, and Lipinski all in the lead.

[archibaldcrane]

Called for Pritzker, Rauner is up 4.6% with 42% reporting, Lipinski is up 3% with 74% reporting. Bleh.

I SHOULD change my LinkedIn. Lesson one, I suppose; keep my social media up to date.

So any updates on this? Did the police come visit you for impersonating a federal employee?

I went to the community center and showed them my DOJ badge, the admin there thanked me and said they just sent me the complaint so that I would know it was out there, they had no intention of checking up on it and were surprised anyone would take an HOA election this seriously.

If you win, can you make your opponent's life a living hell? If so, do it.

I'd this point, I'd say Zealot's obligated to take a measuring stick to the guy's yard daily and report him the moment he's a millimeter over.

The Democratic backed judge for the Wisconsin state Supreme Court just beat the incumbent, Scott Walker appointed justice by 11ish points.

Wish I could find the ad for Don Blankenship I just saw on TV. I know I've grumbled about vomit inducing his stuff was before, but he's basically doubled down on democrats being the root of all his evils.

TPaw has changed his stance on Trump and now supports him and his administration.

“The message to Trump voters is: I voted for President Trump. I support most of what he’s doing, nearly all of what he’s doing on a policy level,” Pawlenty said. “I just didn’t approve of some of his comments and language and behavior.”

“So, after the Access Hollywood tapes came out, that kind of set me off and that’s why I made those comments,” he said. “But since then, he’s made a lot of great progress as the leader of our country.”

Trump hasn't done shit and I wish people would stop saying that.

Alas, the other guy won. Tough to beat 18 years in the community when the number of voters at this level literally comes down to the people you know, but I guess I did alright.

Numbers please!

[Zealot]

They don't give exact numbers on election day but he got 300 votes and I'm pretty sure like 350 people voted total. Was not a close match. Found out a week ago there was a big movement I was unaware of to not let any renters (me) serve on the HOA.

Damn. I'd come back next time with some reactionary 'Taxation without representation' style campaign.
