IL-Gov. 2018 Megathread

[VPH]

My guess is:

Rauner 56 -  Ives 44
Pritzker 34 - Kennedy 27 - Biss 26 - Hardiman 6 - Daiber 4 - Marshall 3

[Mr. Illini]

New D Primary Poll

Pritzker 32%, Kennedy 26%, Biss 22%, 16% Undecided

Me thinks no one knows who will win until late Tuesday night or after.

Sounds like this is from a fake polling firm.

That being said, it's kinda surprising that a real firm hasn't polled here.

Also of note from the poll - it shows Quinn with a 2 point edge on Raoul, Kaegi up 10 on Berrios, and Preckwinkle within the MoE against Fioretti

Pritzker vs. Ives would be the worst race ever. Much worse than Hillary vs. Trump.

dear god can we not elect bob fioretti, please and thanks

[Ye We Can]

Was putting up signs a little while ago. Kennedy's signs are so yellow you can't even read his name. Like how do you mess that up even

I’m rooting for Pritzker, Lipinski, Rauner and Quinn to all lose today. I hope that’s not too much to ask for

[Green Line]

Illinois voters, when faced with important choices, almost always choose the worst candidate.  Today will probably be the same.  The smart people are the ones fleeing the state!

[VPH]

Rooting for Kennedy and Lipinski!

[Canis]

Rooting For Biss and Newman!

So...Pritzker, Ives, Quinn, Lipinski? Not the worst lineup ever.

[Illiniwek]

Rooting for Kennedy and Lipinski!

[MT Treasurer]

Rooting for Ives (Rauner is terrible and deserves to go down badly, the general is Safe D either way, Ives’ floor (not her ceiling) isn’t lower than Rauner’s, etc.), Lipinski and Quinn.

[MAINEiac4434]

Any turnout reports yet?

[JGibson]

Go Biss, Quinn, Newman, Kelly, García, and Jones!

[Rhenna]

Go Ives, Pritzker, and Newman!!!

[Oryxslayer]

Go Ives, Pritzker, and Newman!!!

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

Any turnout reports yet?

Early vote shattered records in Cook County

keep in mind that could just be a result of people deciding to vote early instead of on eday

[Donerail]

if we're posting our ballots, I voted for Biss (a decision in the booth) and Raoul. Bobby Rush didn't draw a challenger.

[Rhenna]

Does anybody know if/when NYT posts their live results page like they did for PA-18 and the TX primary?

[#gravelgang #lessiglad]

Biss / Drury (decided in the booth) / Kaegi for Cook Co assessor. Threw a protest vote against Quigley's vote in opposition of limitations on the NSA's collection of incidental data on Americans, but I fully expect him to win overwhelmingly and will support him in November. Voted for the ABA's slate of well-qualified judges. Also voted in favor of the advisory referendum on legalization of marijuana.

Something interesting to watch is Ives's numbers in IL-03. Apparently, in the last few days, the Susan B Anthony list urged its members to vote for Lipinski. But if they do vote in the primary for Lipinski, those same voters wouldn't be able to vote for Ives in her primary challenge.

The only democrat who has any chance of losing the general is JB trustfund, he has enough ties to Blago and Madigan to make for good ad fodder. Might not matter since illinois voters seem intent on continuing the collapse of the state
