Illinois: Today's Democratic primary turnout TRIPLED over 2014 and 30% than 2010

[RandySF]

Democratic primary turnout was up across the state — overall, it was triple what it was in 2014, according to the Democratic Governors Association.

And turnout was 30 percent higher on Tuesday than in 2010, a more comparable primary election since there was a competitive Democratic primary that year. In an ominous sign, Republicans saw an estimated drop of 30 percent in turnout over 2014, which was a highly competitive primary where Rauner edged out three other top contenders.

2. His challenger came very close!

Remember this, Lipinski althou a loser is still a dem ...a warm body... a head count that will bring us that much closer to control of Congress in the fall

3. but we don't have Newman. She would have beat the republican and we'd have a

real candidate. We'd get a dem either way.

4. Lipinski a dem as is sheriff Clarke. Little to cheer about

Clarke counted as a dem even as he sat on fox praising trumpy.
