One Month
We're about a month out from Election Day, and while we don't think much is going to change locally, there is one place that a concerted effort can send a message to the political class that there better be some changes.
- judicial retention
And believe it or not, in 2024 more judges than ever ended up on the verge of losing their seats:
Tuesday was the last day provisional ballots can be counted and it appears one Cook County Circuit Court judge will be losing their seat. Shannon O’Malley gained only 58% Yes for Retention votes. All members of the Alliance of Bar Associations rated Judge O’Malley not recommended for retention. In addition to questions about his meeting residency requirements, the Council had concerns about his courtroom management, where avoidable delays can mean that a child remains in a group home, psychiatric hospital, or other out-of-home placement longer than necessary.
Most judges hovered around 73% yes votes on their retention and no judge gained more than 78%. Five additional judges did not break 65% approval ratings: Kathy M. Flanagan, E. Kenneth Wright, Jr., Maura Slattery Boyle, Lisa Ann Marino, and Ieshia Gray. An additional seven judges did not break 70%. In 2020, eight judges achieved less than 70% approval, with five below 65% and two not retaining their seats.
Cook county voters are literally on the cusp of sending a message, maybe a few hundred votes in many races. For every four "No" votes, a judge needs to get six more "Yes" votes than previously counted. A couple hundred "No" votes would sink more judges in a single election than have been removed in decades past.
It literally takes thirty seconds to vote "No" and convey your disgust with the system. Justice isn't going to grind to a halt without these idiots - has anyone seen a judge put in a full day at any point in the past century? There are plenty of them to pick up the slack and plenty of opportunity for judge bitch Beach to make temporary appointments if needed.
Take the thirty seconds and vote "No."

Its possible but extremely difficult for a judge not to be retained. Pick a couple of the absolute worst which we already have 1 and focus on them and publicize their names over and over to get the word out.
Vote NO and Vote straight Republican. That is the only message the Democrats will respect. Otherwise you will get more of the same.
Yes vote no, a message must be sent to the Party. LEOs have some knowledge of judges, usually ones they appear before
The public have hardly any knowledge of them. They rely on the recommendations of the news media and the Bar association and the political flunky who stands outside the polling place. All should be discounted. And a lot of people still vote by the ethnicity of the name. One shouldn’t vote for a judge unless they know the judge’s track record. It’s really a bad system.
Well well well. Peeked at the article's home page. Found this link within the posted site. Get a load of all the judicial associations and their summary retention guide. https://www.voteforjudges.org
Didn't bother clicking on any association. However, their names speak volumes, as does the original site's purpose statement. One stop progressive source. https://chicagocouncil.org/ Total lib festival.🤮🤬
And now we have additional proof of lib pushes. That article is a surprise on the site.
Vote all the bums OUT.
I've been voting NO on every judge for decades now.
The sole exception was the one that got my dad's traffic tickets fixed in the 1960s!
Vote NO.
Tony Kyrakopolous and John Mulroe retain the rest get a NO vote. Lets have a daily reminder on the blog.
Start with NO and that goofy Judge Lykes, such a goof ball!
Vote NO but the will find away and get back in just like in the past
Always, always, always vote not to retain. Its simple really. Unless your a voter in Chicago
...AND YET ~ He's still on the ballot,....Vote Democrat for more
It's crooks county, any "no" votes aren't making it to the 2 am counting table
NO,wont support liars and criminals
Everyone complains about the CTU, but all city employees are culpable in the reelection of Brandon Johnson! Even the police! As long as you keep getting yours, damn the rest of the citizens. Visions of retirement at 50 to that house in Florida and that fishing boat!
Can you guys publish a list of all recommendations you guys have to the elections. I feel like a lot of us here have the same mindset and want the same but we don’t really have time to do research on candidates.
Conservative, hard on crime and criminals and no libtards.
" When Corruption Was King", a great read by an ex- CPD, then attorney named Robert Cooley which precipitated in the arrest and convictions of many Cook County judges, police officers, politicians and mobsters who ran rigged cases, bribes and general corruption in the court system. Hit men, murderers and various criminals freed through these guys. The guy is a Chicago product through and through, Mt. Carmel graduate, dad served honorably on CPD. He hobnobbed with mobsters, mobbed up politicians , assorted thugs and murderers in Chicago back in the 70's and 80'.s. He names names, dates with no bullshit. I'm sure someone is going to make this into a movie sooner or later....read the book before Hollywood ruins it. Get it cheap on Ebay, Amazon , etc.
Then over here, they are still attacking the police in the city of Chicago!

that Incompetent Stratton running for Senator is responsible for covid shut downs of schools, businesses and safety act along with every TAX INCREASe
she's afraid to debate her opponent. vote straight Republican
especially if you are a minority and in more danger of death by violence and narcotic use, worst school system in the USA
You’re already a Democrat clown , so you’re use to supporting criminals.
yes, name judge
Bingo, let's do it.
Gray Lord.
Fuck Cooley. Coke head scumbag juat as dirty as those that he told on.
Grown adults in here most of them with worthless college degrees actually believe we can vote our way out of the mess we are in. Still believe voting makes a difference not understanding it’s a rigged fake scripted system.
Frenchy Martin Says:
Nothing will change unless President Trump orders in ICE and other fed agencies to monitor Chicagoland-Cook Country Voting Polls. Arrests on the spot for any violations. Now back to some good firehouse chili, then a nice nap in the bunkhouse ….
NO on ALL Judges unless you have personal information
straight R on all running
Would love to see it, but those who don't get retained will just be reappointed as associate judges by the County Machine until they're good to run again.
Vote NO on LYKE
I haven't voted Yes to retaining a single judge in the last 20 years.
Like the Guy pushing the Boulder up the mountain, you got to try. An abnormal NO vote, across the County, will be noticed. It might also "cull the heard" and put the remainder on notice..... especially if any Media asks for political "Reasoning" .
Forte. Should be a definite no
I have been voting no for almost every retention judge for years.
This year I am encouraging everyone to vote no on FORTI. A complete tool in civil court and a danger due to some of his rulings
Florida ain’t what it used to be - just managed to sell my late Father’s home there & feel huge relief. So few wanting to buy - the genuine risk of storms/flooding & difficulty getting home insurance are very real now, worse than what you see in headlines. Do your homework; look elsewhere for your golden years.
