A new countywide vacancy (the vacancy of Judge Laurence J. Dunford) has popped up on the official list of vacancies published by the Illinois State Board of Elections, just in time for my favorite two day weekend of the year, the one where we turn the clocks back and thereby gain an extra hour.
Many people forward to the additional hour of sleep. Judicial candidates look forward to the extra hour to gather petition signatures. Anyway, without further preface, herewith the current vacancy list (as usual, all errors of omission or commission in this list are mine alone and I am grateful for additions and corrections provided).

If you're keeping score at home, you'll notice that there have been three countywide vacancies posted since the Cook County Democratic Party's August slating meeting. The list of eight alternates that emerged from that meeting, which seemed rather... improbable (I'm looking for as neutral a word here as I can) at the time, doesn't seem quite so far-fetched any longer -- at least not for Rosa Maria Silva, Tom S. Sianis, and Thomas F. McGuire. These individuals are now, according to the Democratic Party's August announcement, duly endorsed countywide judicial candidates.

How on Earth did you forget that the King of Traffic Court, Hon. Charlie Beach, is sitting in the vacancy briefly held by the illustrious and colorful Judge Richard Cooke !
Hello All,
I don't do this often but I just have to correct this Blog today.
The Honorable Charles Beach was appointed to fill the Cooke vacancy in the 6th sub-circuit until the end of next year.
He is now running to keep that seat and on March 20, 2018, he will win by a landslide.
As always, E. P.
Hi, Jack
I thought Robert Harris was appointed to Washington's vacancy (5th).
CORRECTION - CHARLIE BEACH WAS APPOINTED TO THE COOKE VACANCY

Yeah... this is what happens when I fail to update this post in a timely fashion. (I'd put some sort of red-faced emoji in here if I knew how....)
Anyway... in addition to omitting Judges Beach and Harris, I also omitted Judge Preston Jones, Jr. My apologies for the omissions.
