Illinois Election

Illinois Election Results Begin To Come In

As election results begin coming in from the state of Illinois, both Republicans and Democrats are on edge. Illinois is one of the toss up states in this election, and without a doubt is one of the more important elections for Senate in the country. As we submit this article for release there is approximately 72% of precincts reporting, yet the races for both Illinois Governor as well as the Senate seat remain too close to call.

The senate race between Republican Kirk, and Democratic Candidate Giannoulias is as close as it gets when it comes to an election. With 72% of votes counted the Republican candidate Kirk has 48% of the vote while the Democrat, Giannouliasn has 47%. The Green party candidate, Jones has approximately 3% of all votes.

In the Governor’s race in the Illinois election, the Democrat, Quinn, is leading the Republican, Brady 47% to 45%, while Independent candidate, Cohen commands 4% of the vote, and Green party candidate Whitney has 3%. There is also an Amendment being voted on in the Illinois election which would give voters the ability to recall a governor and hold a special election to replace them. This amendment has 66% of the vote in favor and 34% against.

    Greens are becoming a powerful force.
    Both major parties are corrupt to the core.
    Never believe the official government 9/11 story.

    If the 2010 elections said anything they said the people want a government responsive to their needs. So, Democrats and Republicans, it’s time to kiss and make up then work toward bettering the country through bipartisanship. Else, next election a large number of you will be sent packing again. Remember your campaign promises, implement positive change, set aside the need to savage members of the other party! Also, maybe next campaign you should consider positive things you’ll do and focus less (if at all) on negatives regarding your opponent. This year’s campaign ads were woeful.

    There is corruption at all levels of politics regardless of party lines. If you think that is not true you are only fooling yourself. The best we can do is support the candidate you believe and have researched that can do the best good for the people and the community as a whole.
