What Does it Mean???
- So far, early voting is nearly double what it was before the February election — and while the two mayoral candidates became part of that rush on Thursday, they couldn’t agree on what the rise in early balloting means.
Election Board spokesman Jim Allen cautioned reporters not to “read too much” into the wave of early voting.
“The wild card here for us is Passover, Easter, spring break. Is this a big chunk of what we’re gonna get? Or is this just a taste of what we’re gonna get? Is this gonna represent 24 percent of the overall vote or 18 percent of the overall vote? Nobody knows,” Allen said.
Through the close of business Wednesday, 100,976 Chicagoans had cast early ballots, nearly double the 51,245 early votes that had been cast at this point before the Feb. 24 election.
Probably, there are going to be a lot of people out of town Tuesday. Spring Break and all.

Sounds more like some crooked Democrat found a way to stuff a lot of early ballots.
12 early votes walked right into the 9th district.
4 of them 1st time voters.
all for Chuy.
I think that covers the vote the FOP board have. Piece of cake.
Have the dead voted yet? They usually do in a close election.
Vote Early
Vote Often

Myself and the wife went in to vote early for Chuy just in case something came up or someone fell ill on April 7th. We couldn't run the risk of Rahm feeding off of our absent votes to win.
Early voting is all about stuffing the ballot box with bogus votes.
You got it, Spring Break, after last winter everyone planned early to get out of town this year. Just cast my vote yesterday at the library on Milwaukee. As usual I took my kids with me. It was fun explaining to my son that there was a candidate named Chuey, led to a Star Wars discussion...
People see what a disaster Chuy is and voted early. The largest increases are in wards that Rahm won outright in the primary.
Go Rahm!
Did you vote yet?
This usually means the challenger chuy is ahead early means people don't want rahm, will rahm have his hackers manipulate the results?
democrats want no ID for voters , say it's racist
SAY WHAT MFR
hope all the ILLEGALS in our Sanctuary city put CHUY in Office
CFD endorsed him , but the rank and file are in Chuys corner , just like they were for CHICO
CFD playin the democratic game , tell them what they want to hear
Rahm is toast , 1% will never run Chicago , Chuy will hire more Police and conduct a forensic audit of books

Go Rahm? You dickhead, no way will I vote for that miserable prick. Wife feels same way.
We had Daley for 22 years, do you think Chuy is worse than Daley? Chuy!!!!
Wow, the Rahm trolls are working overtime on this blog lately.
Did anyone see the pic of CHUY with known gang members?

Oh piss off, tell rahm his days are numbered.
City credit rating down under Rams watch
Did Daley ever have 40,000,000 in a war chest , I don't think so . It sounds like the wealthy 1% group want to keep the north side suburban dancer around
Maybe $4.75 telephone tax on 3-4 phones , doubled water bills doesn't bother the wealthy . It sure hurts most of us . Don't complain and not vote .
It is time for change , why not a nice Hispanic Man named Chuy from the Southside . St. Rita graduate . If he doesn't change things , someone will take is place .give Chuy Garcia a chance and make Chicago History .
OT...sound familiar? http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-harvey-police-pension-judgment-met--20150403-story.html
Judge: Harvey must pay $7.3 million to police pension fund
Rahm is shitting his pants...
The early voting is the trend that will carry over into the election...
If early voting is up nearly 50%, could it trend toward a turn-out of 75%?
And the weather is predicted to be seasonable for Tuesday.
The more, the merrier.
The Rahm Emanuel Chicago Experiment?
"Das Ist Kaput!"
6300 voters at Rodden Library in the 41st Ward as of today. About 8% are from adjoining wards like 45. But the 16th District and Hiawatha Pk heavy with quite a bit of 41st ward voters. Should end up tomorrow with over 7000 41st Ward voters total. Heavy turnout in run offs usually bad news for incumbents. Current Alderman Oconnor very nervous. She is trying everything from sending out a mailer suggesting she is responsible for decrease in crime and she got the Police their retro checks. We will know Tuesday evening if she is out the door after a dismal 4 years in office.
Can Napolitano's people answer why he took the money and support of the anti pension group, Illinois Opportunity Project, which is led by police hater Dan Proft. Check out their website, its scarry, they hate public workers and dont want us to keep what we earned. Im pissed, why is Napolitano working with this group?

"Lawmakers should support shifting public employees to a defined contribution, 401(k)-style retirement plan, like what is seen in the private sector. It is time to move beyond the outdated defined benefit structure for Illinois’ public employee pensions.
Here are the facts:
• Illinois needs a defined contribution, not a defined benefit, plan for its retirees"

If you mean the retired drunken XO/ Vice Lord from the second district, then Yes!
Mary Oconnor again making claims against Naps. When your takes tons of money from Rahm, airport contractors, to the tune of 64,000 the last six months alone and special interests galore what can you say. Mary you probably spent 300,000 against Naps mabey 60,000, you have to come up with bullshit. Naps as you know has come out to save the pensions, keep the 3% bump every year and restore the 3% to the municipal retirees that were robbed of it by Rahm and Oconnor. Their plan is to raise taxes and take the 3% bump away from the CPD and CFD. Oconnor is on record saying so. Naps vote will be to take it from TIFs and build a casino, using the money to shore up pensions. Do you think for a minute that Naps is going to vote to fuck his father CPD, his brother Andy CPD, his Uncle Tommy widow CPD and the men and woman he worked with on the CPD and CFD? Get fucking real. People like him and Garrido are our only defense against Rahm. If you think Rahm was bad the first 4 years, wait to you see how that prick is the next four. You will see how fast that bullshit, I hear you garbage wears off. This is our opportunity to dump Oconnor and put one of our own in the most conservative ward in the city. Napolitano has been endorsed by the Chicago Republicans, so that bullshit he is a liberal doesn't fly. Also Doherty is not his campaign manager, a guy named Brian Koppe is. So cut the lies and tell the fucking truth.

he took the money like anyone that sells their souls for public office, he will be bought and paid for like the rest are!
Voted today. An election judge walked behind me (coming back from the coffee table) and apologized, saying she wasn't looking at my ballot. I laughed and told her it was no secret I was voting for Garcia and she smiled and said a lot of people had told her the same thing.
So I'm thinking this thing is lots closer than Emanuel wants people to believe.
Wow, the Rahm trolls are working overtime on this blog lately.
>>>>>>>>>>> OK?!!
Easter is the perfect time for an election in Chicago.
What better time for the Dead to rise from their graves and vote then the celebration of the Resurrection....

I'm sure there are pics of the Ballerina and Luis "Latin Kings" Gutierrez.
I knew that little shit growing up around Humboldt Park. Classic coward gang banger.
The River Wards will decide this election.

People voted early because they're pissed,really,really pissed at the way Rham runs things now.
They want change. And they'll get it with Chuy.
The gang members were at a fundraiser where Chuy was photographed with dozens of other people. He didn't do background checks before posing with any of them. It isn't like he was out clubbing with them. Nothing to see here.
I just read an election story in the Tribune. Rahm has both antacids and ibuprofen on the desk. Good sign. Let's hope he's out the door in 24!
GO CHUY!
