One knows that a contest is close when one of the candidate’s supporters start defacing or tearing down or blocking the view of the other candidate’s signs.
Caught on camera south of Woodstock North High School is the guy you see in the first photo.
Andy Zinke sign guy putting a sign in front of one of Bill Prim’s.
He is not supporting Bill Prim.
He is working on putting a sign up in front of a Bill Prim sign.
The license plate on his white pickup truck is either 71898 or 71998.
The photos were taken by a Bill Prim supporter.
Maybe someone can recognize the person or his truck and identify him in the comment section.
Don’t illegally run the plate. There is electronic tracking in LEADS.
Looks pretty far off the road, I suppose the first question is are both signs on Public or Private property?
This just proves how dishonest the Zinke people are.
Caught on camera.
Now what do people have to say.
Bob Demodica Looks like him and he owns a white pickup truck….lol…
Whomever this was is NOT putting a Zinke sign up infront of a Prim sign.
Sign is for another candidate running for something.
Way to jump on another non-issue post.
BTW, little sign is still there and no sign of a Zinke sign anywhere today.
If there WAS one, did a Prim supporter remove it, like someone claimed elsewhere?
More excuses coming from the Zinke camp…
You pathetic bunch of saps…
Hmmm…No Zinke sign there, only a Prim sign that appears to be on private property.
Does Prim have permission to have his sign there?
Did a Prim supporter remove a Zinke sign to make theirs more visible?
Can you please post your picture of it being a Zinke sign in the first place?
I mean if you are claiming a “Zinke sign blocking a Prim sign” the least you could do is to show us at least one picture of a Zinke sign blocking a Prim sign.
Obviously there was an eye witness.
It’s Bob Demodica….
An eye witness that says what, you yellow journalist?
That somebody in a white truck was putting up a sign in front of Prim’s?
We know that. Is every campaign sign in the world other than Prim’s one of Zinke’s?
Get real.
You (or the stooge that sent this to you) had time to take a picture of the guy, the signs and the truck but couldn’t be bothered with the end result?
No problem, we’ll just say it was Zinke’s people dong it.
Doesn’t have to be true.
You have less credibility than Obama who still manages to blame Bush for all his f**k ups.
If your parents were still alive, Cal, who would they blame for you?
Let’s call Zinke….He can run the plate……….Vote Bill !
This is getting ridiculous… after all the hate and venom that you and your angry blogger friends have spewed towards Mr. Zinke you think that you have the moral authority to question someones placement of a sign?
This blog and the sites that you link to are burdoened with an unnatural hatred that has completely clouded your judgement.
One sided would be a generous statement.
It’s a shame… front and center Mr. Prim is not qualified for the Sheriff’s job and all of the pontification about how honest and forthright and transparent is no more grounded in reality than the ad homonym attacks against Mr. Zinke that you and your group of ‘crusaders’ put forth on a daily basis.
A vote for Prim is a vote for corruption, plain and simple.
I’m not saying that Mr. Prim is corrupt, but the people that want him in there are and all of you and your unnatural hatred are playing right into their hands.
On the corner of Crystal Lake Road & Bull Valley, in front of a big Prim sign someone put three Zinke signs stacked on top of each other.
Looks like very childish behavior!
Almost every Prim sign as you drive through mchenry is either blocked by a large Zinke sign or 3 small Zinke signs stacked in a pyramid.
Hey, Tamara and Bob Demodica… GROW UP!
What a schumck.
Clearly enough room to put his sign elsewhere.
It’s John Trotter, the supervisor from the Sheriff’s garage
In an act if defiance, Prim supporters illegally place the same sign in question on public property.

Is that the county truck?
What time was this??
The 8 foot Prim sign was also taken after that photo.
Don’t worry though, they tend to grow back.
DoubleDouchebag Zinke and his minions hard at work.
Was John on the clock when he put up that sign ?
AssSupporter, it is a ZINKE sign, I saw it.
You’re a frickin liar just like your boss the DoubleDouchebag.
Get the time stamp Cal.
Trotter is driving the county vehicle.
Come on, Johnny.
Are you that worried about your job that you gotta kiss ass and post signs for King Z?
Is this payback for King Z giving you this job?
Johnny is a good guy, he’s just been drinking the AZ”scratch mine and I’ll scratch yours” Kool-Aid for a couple of years now.
Why don’t you just get the plot number and find out who owns it and ask who has permission to put the sign up?
Prim sign photo Feb 28th.
White truck photo today 12:18PM.
During lunch?
What do you expect from the Zinke camp.
They know he can’t win on his own merit so they lie and do childish things.
Even using a county truck.
What makes you think it is a county truck?
I dont see county plates.
One thing has to be very apparent to everyone, and I am sure the Zinke supporters would agree, is that it’s critical that Andy does not lose this election.
The dominion that is the Sheriff’s Dept and those that hide in the sanctuary of its walls cannot afford to lose control of this crucial office.
At the risk of sounding melodramatic, McHenry County be warned, they will stop at nothing – nothing to win this race.
I heard that my picture was on this web site so I felt I should set the record strait.
The person who owns that land is a supporter of Zinke.
He is the one who has been taking down the Prim signs. He asked that a Zinke sign be put there so the Prim people would not put another sign there.
The guy who took the picture was informed of this and should have waited a little longer because the owner was on his way down to clarify it is his land and Prim ad no permission .
Ten minutes after the camera man left the owner showed up and removed the Prim sign.
The truck is not a county truck.
That would be stupid. Its stupid to even say.
Before you waste any time finding out if I was on the clock, I wasn’t.
I can understand the hatred you guys have for each other, but you should try to get the facts.
As for my position, I earned it after 22 yrs of service.
Many spent performing the duties I currently have.
Lets all try to calm down and have a great evening.
Word is that Zinke promised his undersheriff position to lead mechanic John Trotter, that’s why he’s on sign duty.
I fear Rich is right. (Not having good feelings about this.)
Bob and Tamara (FUKU ) white dodge pick up truck license plate is 64161p.
So, with that thought eliminated, now we look at suspect #2.. John from the garage.
Even though a McHenry County employee might be on a lunch break, he still is on County payroll during that time period, and I do believe that General Orders prohibit such acts of political activities even on your so called lunch break ?
Andy Zinke needs to be voted out of office…. In my opinion, he is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Somebody commented on another story saying they would not make any purchases with any business that displayed a Zinke sign.
I would just like to remind everyone that this current administration is very powerful and many business owners feel they have to put up the signs.
Please bear that in mind and remember that many who say they support the current administration will not vote for Andy tomorrow.
This is America, our local businesses need us regardless.
When Zinke and his crew were passing out coffee this morning I sure hope they weren’t drinking any.
It is apparent they are nervous enough about tomorrow.
Rich thanks for the info.
It makes sense === intimidation, threats, lies etc. all sound like the old way of doing business from what I have read.
12:30 NOT – Try 10:30 am
So Thetruth works for the government, was on break or had the day off, the Prim sign was being replaced with a Zinke sign because the Prim sign was on the property of a Zinke supporter, that Zinke supporter said to another Zinke supporter, hey can you replace the Prim sign with a Zinke sign because I keep taking down the Prim sign and it keeps reappearing.
The Prim sign placer didn’t get permission from the property owner in the first place?
The Prim sign placer didn’t track down the owner after the sign was taken down at least once?
What is so ludicrous is that the Sheriff’s race always brings out this BS with the signs.
You’d expect both sides to act within the law when it comes to the race for the county’s highest law enforcement office.
It has been brought to my attention that comments have been made on this blog that DO NOT
Belong to me.
My name is being used by an obviously very disturbed person.
I would never make ANY comment that would be supportive of Nygren or Zinke.
Thank you.

As suspected the Prim sign was placed on Private Property without permission.
So this article is targeting the person apparently following the law and respecting private property rights while making the trespasser out to be a victim?
Typical team Prim tactics.
Oddly on my drive today I noticed Dozens of Zinke signs gone overnight and am now hearing many other reports of as much as 75% of all Zinke signs stolen overnite.
Real classy.
So to sum up.
Private Property
Prim sign illegally placed
Zinke sign legally placed
ugly accusations targeting a Zinke supporter proven to be a lie (1)
ugly accusations targeting a Zinke supporter proven to be a lie (2)
Any sensible person could have looked at the sign placements and seen they were back on private property, is team prim even pretending like they had permission to place their sign there?
…and now I hear reports that the Zinke sign legally placed on private property has since been stolen?
…Pot meet kettle.
So we now apparently know who the person was…that he was there with the property owners permission…and apparently the Prim sign was illegally placed.
Chance of seeing a correction…probably zero.
Chances the posters who were wrong will now be consistent in their condemnations…zero.
Hypocrites.
