Two Precincts Near Crystal Lake (the Lake) Split on State Races

Algonquin Township 19 Republican Precinct Committeeman Joe Stecker must have endorsed Kirk Dillard for governor because he got almost twice as many votes as his nearest competitor Andy McKenna.

Take a look at the results for governor in these 2 of 68 Algonquin Township precincts (listed in ballot order and excluding electronic, absentee and early votes);

  • Dillard 35
  • Brady 6
  • Schillerstrom (who dropped out and endorsed Jim Ryan) 0
  • Andrzejewski 8
  • Proft 12
  • Ryan 17
  • McKenna 20

In my Algonquin Township Precinct 7 there were radically different results.

  • Dillard 13
  • Brady 5
  • Schillerstrom 1
  • Andrzejewski 7
  • Proft 8
  • Ryan 9
  • McKenna 30

For lieutenant governor, Algonquin 19 turned out this way:

  • Tracy 5
  • Plummer 35
  • White 4
  • Cole 4
  • Murphy 31
  • Cook 4

In Algonquin 7 the paper ballot votes were

  • Tracy 1
  • Plummer 18
  • Cole 3
  • Murphy 31
  • Cole 6

In Algonquin 19, Congressman Mark Kirk won 59 to 16 for Hughes to 10 for Lowery to 5 for Martin. I don’t have totals for Arrington and Thomas. Sorry.

In Algonquin 7, the totals were Kirk – 38, Hughes – 11, Thomas – 9, Lowery – 5, Martin – 4, Arrington – 2.

In any event, as virtually everyone predicted Kirk is victorious.
