  1. 22 percent of the ballots cast to date were Early and Absentee votes.

    Algonquin Township accounted for almost 59 percent of total ballots cast based on the published numbers for Highway Commissioner.

    Remember that this was a primary election and very few people who normally vote for Democrats actually came out to vote.

    In addition, those who call themselves Independents do not vote in primaries.

    Let us pray more people come out to vote in April when the REAL tax and spender offices are up for election!

  2. Congratulations to the winners.

    They were all good choices.

    Which write in won the trustee spot?
