Title: Election Results for East St. Louis, Illinois Post by: DariusNJ on October 29, 2009, 06:35:06 PM If I remember correctly, the city voted over 95% for Kerry.
I'm just wondering what percentage Obama got there. Thanks! Title: Re: Election Results for East St. Louis, Illinois Post by: ag on October 29, 2009, 07:05:15 PM Obama 13,846 votes (99.23%)
McCain 83 votes (0.60%) Others 23 votes (0.17%) Also, neat Senate results: Durbin (D) 95.59% Cummings (Green) 2.43% Sauerberg (R) 1.08% Koppie (Con) 0.48% Stafford (Lib) 0.43% Not many places in the country where a Republican Senate candidate can't get half the votes of the Green, methinks.

Isn't East St. Louis over 95% African-American. Although still getting less than 1% is pretty small anywhere, that seems that only plausible explanation. Title: Re: Election Results for East St. Louis, Illinois Post by: Lephead on October 30, 2009, 04:15:51 AM Yes, the city of East St Louis is almost all African Americans now.
When there is a viable Green candidate, they usually do way better than a Republican in the non-waterfront districts in the center of San Francisco. Title: Re: Election Results for East St. Louis, Illinois Post by: minionofmidas on October 30, 2009, 07:23:29 AM 97.7% Black by the 2000 census.

Title: Re: Election Results for East St. Louis, Illinois Post by: DariusNJ on October 30, 2009, 03:29:17 PM Thanks a lot everyone!
The city was 97.7% black at the 2000 Census, probably between 98-99% now. It's a very sad place, probably worse than Detroit and Gary in terms of the urban decay. Title: Re: Election Results for East St. Louis, Illinois Post by: DariusNJ on October 30, 2009, 03:31:10 PM Interesting that the 5% who were sick of Blagojevich chose to vote for Topinka and not Whitney. I noticed that as well, could it be because she was perceived as fairly moderate? Or maybe the Green candidate ran a horrible campaign.

I noticed that as well, could it be because she was perceived as fairly moderate? Or maybe the Green candidate ran a horrible campaign. Topinka was both moderate and very popular as State Treasurer.
