Despite having over $40,000 of vicious negative advertising thrown against him, the real Republican in the 63rd District Primary Election is defeating Jack Frank changeling Jeffrey Lichte.

With 32 of 73 precincts having their ballots reported, Reick is leading his counterfeit opponent by 59% to 41%.

41 precincts are still to be counted.

A victory by Reick will give Jack Franks an excuse not to vote with Mike Madigan on tough votes that might anger Governor Bruce Rauner.

Franks will point out that if Rauner gets angry he may give assistance to Reick that is more than a robo-call.

Rauner could easily match the Franks family dollar for dollar…or more.
