deCastro defeats Glaub in the only contested countywide judicial race

Tien H. Glaub, the only Republican candidate to run for a countywide Circuit Court seat is down to Judge Pablo F. deCastro by 270,000 votes Citywide (with about two-thirds of the votes counted) and by another 210,000 or so votes, according to suburban tallies, with about 93% of the votes counted there.

The Illinois Supreme Court appointed deCastro to the countywide Flannery vacancy this past April. At the time, he had no Republican opponent. Glaub did not run in the Republican primary; she filed for the vacancy in June.
