My friend Sean Tenner has volunteered to organize the Lincoln Chapter of Organizing for America. Last night they held their inaugural meeting and Sean asked me to present a talk on the results of the March 3rd Special Democratic Primary election for the IL-5 Congressional seat.The race had 12 contenders and the winner was Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley, with a scant 22% of the vote - only 12,100 votes in total. The turnout was probably one of the lowest I've ever seen.
The April 5 special general election will probably have an even lower turnout. But if you live in the 5th, go vote Democratic. I know I will. Early voting is open until April 2nd, Monday-Saturday.
