Unless you live in the far northwest corner of Cook County, if you took a Republican ballot today, you had no one to vote for in either Appellate Court race, or in any of the 10 countywide races. And only if you live in the far northwest corner of Cook County did you have any judicial candidates to choose from at all: There were three vying for the Republican nomination there.
And it appears that Gary William Seyring bested two challengers to win the Republican nomination for the Groebner vacancy in the 13th Subcircuit. His margin is 1,693 votes, at this point, over Dominic J. Buttitta, Jr. Only six of the 208 precincts in the 13th have yet to report in this race.
So this result should probably hold. But... who knows what is lurking in the postal system?
For the record, there were 18,676 total Republican ballots taken out in this traditionally Republican area.
On the Democractic side, some 25,081 ballots were taken out. And, at this moment, with only six precincts still outstanding, Joe Gump has a seven vote margin over James "Jack" Costello, 10,494 to 10,487.
Yikes.
I will venture a prediction here: Either Costello or Gump will eventually prevail and wind up facing Seyring in November. Probably.
How's that for fearless?
