Judge Matthew E. Coghlan, abandoned by the Democratic Party in his retention bid, the focus of a very vocal Coalition to Dump Matt Coghlan, seems to be in serious trouble in early returns. With 28.61% of the City votes counted, Coghlan has 'yes' votes from only 51.01% of the electorate.
A judge must receive 'yes' votes from more than 60% of the voters in order to be retained in office.
By way of comparison, with the same number of votes counted, Judge Moshe Jacobius has 75.83% favorable votes.
Caveat: These are City-only results. Nothing is yet showing up on the Cook County Clerk's website, where suburban results are posted.
