Washington, Suite 500, Chicago, Illinois 60602 TEL (312) 603-0996 FAX (312) 603-9788 WEB cookcountyclerk.com Dear Friends: The March 15, 2016 Presidential Primary shattered modern-day records going back more than 25 years. The popularity of initiatives such as Online Voter Registration and Election Day Registration, as well as registration and voting for 17-year-olds, proved there is a great desire by voters to take part in the electoral process. This was the first presidential election to include Election Day Registration and voting by 17-year- olds who will be 18-years-old by the General Election – offerings we found to be very popular with suburban Cook County voters. This 2016 Presidential Primary Post-Election Report takes a comprehensive look at the voting totals, trends and statistics during the March primary throughout suburban Cook County. Below is a sample size of the standout primary numbers: • Voting before Election Day – by mail, or during early voting and grace period voting – accounted for 22 percent of all ballots cast in this election. • Early Voting set a new primary record with 113,641 ballots cast in a Presidential Primary. • More than 23,000 suburban Cook County voters took advantage of Election Day Registration. • Nearly 4,400 17-year-olds voted, accounting for 62 percent of the 7,085 who registered to vote. • Donald Trump won 25 of the 30 Suburban Cook County Townships, garnering his best total in Stickney Township, with 62.1 percent of the vote. • Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were separated by just nine votes in Norwood Park Township (Clinton: 1,859; Sanders: 1,850).

  • Chicago Tribune (October 2005)
    Bill Daley Bonjour, roussanne! Say hello to a great white wine you've probably never heard of Published October 19, 2005 October's falling temperatures and crisp nights trigger a hunger in all of us for richer, heartier fare. There is no better time for a glass of roussanne. This white wine grape from France's Rhone Valley has the gumption to tackle fall's sturdy fare just like a chardonnay, but without leaving you feeling like you've just gnawed through an oak tree. While its style can vary depending on the country and the maker, roussanne is classically reserved and minerally, but with a charming floral bouquet. Chances are, however, that roussanne is the best white wine you've never heard of. It is hugely overshadowed by sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio and, above all else, chardonnay. "I can't think of a white grape that's less hot right now," said Diana Hamann of Wine Goddess Consulting. "And it's a shame, as roussanne can be a champion among whites with its peachy-honeyed hedonism and snappy acidity." Hamann said that most American wine drinkers interested in Rhone wines stick to the reds. The only white to catch on in the U.S. has been viognier. That's reflected in the requests fielded by Randolph Wine Cellars. Jason Given, store manager, said that Chicago drinkers in experimental moods have been asking for more Rhone-style whites but not roussanne specifically. Roussanne is one of four white grape varieties that can be blended into the red wines of Chateauneuf- du-Pape.

Our chapter has compiled suggestions to help you make the most of your time before/after the conference and after the day’s events conclude. This is very much an idiosyncratic view – our personal opinions rather than a comprehensive guide – so we’ve included links to online resources for additional information. We’re biased toward nearby locations, so distances (from Google Maps) are mostly based on walking versus driving.
