At the moment it looks like Wideload Wyman finished with a big Number Two, but with mail-in votes still to be counted anything is possible in Illinois politics.
The Rantoul Press reports:
However, the "unofficial" count from the Champaign County clerk shows:
No doubt there are a couple of boxes of uncounted ballots sitting in the trunk of somebody's car right now, just waiting for the check to clear before they are delivered to the clerk's office. It's a tradition in Illinois, just like having 15 pals write your dissertation for you is a tradition at Princeton.
The Rantoul Press reports:
Quote:When the final count was revealed about 9:45 p.m., Sullivan had 8,967 votes to Wyman's 8,819.
. . .Both Sullivan and Wyman left their male competitors, Troy Lozar and David Moore, in the dust, outdistancing them by a more than 5-to-1 margin.
Lozar netted 1,707 votes and Moore was a mere eight behind him at 1,699.
However, the "unofficial" count from the Champaign County clerk shows:
Quote:RUTH E. WYMAN 8,995 41.58
TROY LOZAR 1,743 8.06
RAMONA SULLIVAN 9,152 42.31
DAVID R. MOORE 1,742 8.05
