Election Day, 2014 (Primaries)

Good morning, everyone, it's 7:16am. Today is Election Day in the Illinois primaries, and it is time to vote, my friends. If you already haven't done so, go out and VOTE! I usually don't talk about politics and everything, but today's is VERY important. Today, we are voting for Governor/Lt. Governor, U.S. Senator, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Comptroller, State Representatives, U.S. Representatives, State Senators, Judges, County Commissioners, County Clerk, County Board President, County Sheriff, County Treasurer, Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Commissioners and a couple of other offices. There are also some referendums to be voted on. Finally, some individual precincts and Wards have special votes to be voted on (i.e. the issue with Ames Middle School).

All polls opened today at 6:00am, and will close at 7:00pm. Having said that, here is some advice for all of you going out to vote today, and here are some important numbers:
- If you see anything suspicious at the polls, like voter fraud, harassment, etc., be sure to call the Board of Elections at (312)-269-7870. All activities need to be reported.
- To verify registration and for proper Precinct Polling Place, call (312)-269-1604.
- For the Chicago Board of Elections Main Line, call (312)-269-7900.
- PLEASE be patient with the election judges, election volunteers, poll watchers, etc.

If you can, please bring a camera with you to your polling place to take pictures of any funny business, and send them to me at avondalelscrimeblotter@gmail.com, or on the Facebook page if you are a fan.

I need your help today. Please. Kindly be sure to tell me how voting went at your polling place. I will need your Precinct number, Ward, and a basic summary of what you saw.

This post will be updated throughout the day.
