Filings for Municipal Office

Here’s my best effort to find out who filed for village and city offices in McHenry County’s thirty municipalities.

Most who didn’t file last week probably waited until late Monday afternoon.

Why?

Best place on the ballot is first.  With a lot of people running that has been proven to my satisfaction to be worth about 10% more votes.

Second best is a tie–second on the ballot and last on the ballot.

The study I read says–again, if there are a lot of people on the ballot–second from the bottom is the worst spot.
