Illinois Ballot Integrity Project won all of their referendum on the ballot,
big time too! This is great news for progressive change in this city, county
and state. These precincts were all over Chicago, South side, West Side, etc
and represent all economic and social strata and still they won fairly
impressively! Time for progressive change!!!

Please help us at IBIP to reform our elections to a more fair, accurate,
secure, accessible and transparent system for the people of Illinois!.

Once again I apologize to all of Chicago for not trying to put these
referendum on the entire Chicago ballot or even on the Cook County ballot.
The signature requirements in these Board of Elections divisions are
apparently not real requirements since LTG Pat Quinn got the Recall
referendum on the ballot with only 900 signatures. Let everyone learn from
my mistake but all of these referenda are only advisory referendum so
basically an elaborate survey of the voters, which is how we will use them,
as voter intent to try to move our issues in the General Assembly and in
Chicago and Cook County.
