some interesting Illinois facts:
I voted in southern Cook County, south of Chicago.

The Sequoia Machine (touchscreen) I used had a very easy to handle display, well organized, and always allowed you to change your mind. It printed out a complete listing of my votes, let me know when I skipped an office (skipped two, on purpose) and even did a high tech bar code for easy recount.

There has been an INCREASE of registered voters in Cook County - real surprise, considering that Chicago lost population. Dupage County, (a GOP stronghold) LOST 5600 voters. Total voters in Illinois, approximately 7.5 million.

IN Chicago alone, 81,827 voted by Wednesday by way of absentee or early voting. That is triple of the previous high, 2006.

Despite what HIllary's website said, Polls opened at 6am here. In my precinct, I voted at 7am CST. I was 40th that morning. As I left, people were coming in fairly steadily. All of this points to the highest turnout for a primary in Illinois history.

Clearly Obama's presence plays a big role, but still, interest in many offices is incredibly high.
