  • BARACK OBAMA and the 2004 ILLINOIS SENATE RACE by John S. Jackson Visiting Professor an Occasional Pape
    THE MAKING OF A SENATOR: BARACK OBAMA AND THE 2004 ILLINOIS SENATE RACE By John S. Jackson Visiting Professor An Occasional Paper Of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Illinois August, 2006 The Making of a Senator: Barack Obama And the 2004 Illinois Senate Race by John S. Jackson Introduction The 2004 U.S. Senate race in Illinois may prove to be one of the most significant in American history. Perhaps not since the Senate election of 1858, when Stephen Douglas defeated Abraham Lincoln, has one Senate election had such an impact on the national leadership cadre. Although Lincoln lost the election, his speeches and debates with Douglas over slavery and the future of the Union ensured his place as a national leader of the young Republican Party and then as a leading contender for the Republican nomination in 1860 (Goodman, 2005). Although Barack Obama is one of one hundred Senators, and a freshman at that, he has quickly become a much sought after speaker, and his influence has spread far beyond the usual parameters for a first-term Senator. Obama is the first African-American male Senator to be elected since Edward Brooke of Massachusetts. He is the second African- American elected to the Senate from Illinois following former Senator Carol Moseley Braun, who was elected in 1992 and then defeated in 1998 (Kenney and Hartley, 2003, 203-209). With the exception of the post Civil War Reconstruction Era, Brooke, Braun, and now Obama are the only three popularly elected African-American Senators in American history.

  • Post-Election Report Takes a Comprehensive Look at the Voting Totals, Trends and Statistics During the March Primary Throughout Suburban Cook County
    Letter from David Orr Cook County Clerk Dear Friends: This March 20 Gubernatorial Primary generated great interest up and down the ballot, and we saw this result in record-breaking or near-record setting marks in the number of registered voters, voters who took part in the election, the percentage of voters who participated in Early Voting, and the overall turnout rate. Not only have we reached a record-high number of registered voters in suburban Cook County (1,549,688), the turnout for Early Voting was higher than any other Gubernatorial Primary and nearly as high as the 2016 Presidential Primary, and the number of voters who cast ballots in this election was more than had participated in a Gubernatorial Primary Election in the last 30 years. This 2018 Gubernatorial 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 29 percent of all ballots cast in this election. • Early Voting also set a new Gubernatorial Primary record with 109,811 ballots cast in-person before Election Day. That’s the highest total yet for a Gubernatorial Primary, and for Primary Elections, second only to the 2016 Presidential Primary (120,681). • Election Day Registration, offered for the first time in a Gubernatorial Primary, was popular with voters, especially younger ones. Voters between 17 and 22 years old made up 32 percent of the 4,278 who took advantage of Election Day Registration.

Washington, Suite 500, Chicago, Illinois 60602 TEL (312) 603-0996 FAX (312) 603-9788 WEB cookcountyclerk.com Dear Friends: The November 4, 2014 Gubernatorial General Election brought many election changes – extended hours for early voting; early voting on the Sunday before the election; expanded grace period registration and voting; Election Day registration; and electronic pollbooks in all precincts. Voting before Election Day set records, with more mail ballots being cast than ever before and a 68.5 percent increase in pre-election day voting. The Nov. 4 election also featured one of the closest elections in Illinois history, the state treasurer’s race. That close contest was not decided until two weeks after the election, when all legally late-arriving mail ballots and valid provisional votes were counted – truly demonstrating how every vote counts. I invite you to delve into the results and analysis of how suburban Cook County voted, in this post-election report. For example: • Voting before Election Day – by mail or during early voting and grace period voting – grew to more than 26 percent this election, up from 15.4 percent in 2010. • The 51,237 mail ballots cast exceeded all previous elections in suburban Cook County, with twice as many as in 2010. • Turnout reached 49.8 percent, down from 52.5 percent in 2010 (nearly matching the 2006 turnout of 49.7 percent). • More women than men voted – 54.2 percent vs.

    November 6, 2018 Gubernatorial Election POST-ELECTION REPORT Karen A. Yarbrough Cook County Clerk’s Office Letter from Karen A. Yarbrough Cook County Clerk Dear Friends, The November 6, 2018 Gubernatorial Election was both significant and historic for many reasons. First and foremost, voter engagement across all ages and categories was especially impressive. Examples of why it was so much more impressive than prior years included the following, just to list a few: more ballots were cast, more people participated in Early Voting, more 18-34 year-olds voted, more residents registered to vote, and the turnout of all registered voters was higher this election than any previous Gubernatorial Election in suburban Cook County. Below is a snapshot of the kind of specific standout General Election data that is included in this report: 255,797 people voted at one of dozens of in-person early voting locations, which set a record for any previous Gubernatorial Election, and was second only to the 2016 Presidential Election. 95,105 people used mail voting, which surpassed the previous record 87,987 mail ballots received by the Clerk’s office for the 2016 Presidential Election. This 2018 Gubernatorial Post-Election Report provides a comprehensive look at voting information, including raw totals, trends, and overall statistics gleaned from the November General Election throughout suburban Cook County. Here are a few more notable snippets: • 539,382 – the total number of votes J.B.
