The Simon Review
The Simon Review The Man and the Land The Politics of Paul Simon and Southern Illinois, 1950-1973 By Eugene P. Trani 1975 Paper #21 July 2010 A Publication of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute Southern Illinois University Carbondale 2 EDITOR’S NOTE: The Paul Simon Public Policy Institute is very pleased to present this paper by Dr. Eugene P. Trani, President Emeritus and University Distinguished Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University. Dr. Trani taught in the History Department at Southern Illinois University Carbondale during Paul Simon’s first race for the U.S. Congress in 1973-74. He and other scholars at SIUC had planned to write a book based on that campaign and this paper preserves the original edition as it was written in 1975 with only minor editorial changes. We are pleased to preserve and publish this historically important document. John S. Jackson Series Editor 3 INTRODUCTION In 1972, when I was teaching in the history department of Southern Illinois University Carbondale, the late Senator Paul Simon, then Lieutenant Governor, lost in the Democratic primary for Governor of Illinois. I was sad and said to myself that if he ever ran again, I would help in his campaign. Soon, he announced for Congress from the district that SIU was in. Some faculty from SIU, myself included, helped in 1974 in the campaign, as noted later in Paul Simon’s book, “P.S.: The Autobiography of Paul Simon” (Chicago, Illinois: Bonus Books, Inc., 1999), p. 128. We also agreed to write a book after his election to the U.S. -

POST-ELECTION REPORT Inside the Numbers: Gubernatorial Election Suburban Cook County November 4, 2014 Cook County Clerk David Orr cookcountyclerk.com COOK COUNTY CLERK DAVID ORR 69 W. 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. -
