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. 45.8 percent – and voters 65 and older made up about one-third of all voters. • Election Day registration was popular, as 3,604 people registered for the first time or updated their registration on Nov. 4. The busiest of our 18 sites was the Evanston Civic Center, where 455 citizens registered. • Voters of all ages used Election Day registration, but voters ages 18-34 made up nearly half of participants. • Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner won the same number of suburban Cook County townships – 16 – as Bill Brady in 2010, but Rauner received about 32,000 more votes than Brady. As always, this report, full election results and many printable maps are available on our website, cookcountyclerk.com.

The 1,398,724 registered voters in suburban Cook County represented a 2.1 percent increase over the 1,370,186 registered voters for the 2010 Gubernatorial General Election. Voter registration efforts by civic, community, education, and religious groups were instrumental at adding voters to the rolls. The Clerk’s office also expanded grace period registration to all early voting sites and executed a successful pilot of Election Day registration. Despite increased registration opportunities, overall turnout dipped to 49.8 percent.

    2017 IHCA Regular Legislative Session Report 2017 Legislative Session Overview FY17 and FY18 Budget Overview Substantive Legislative Initiatives June 2, 2017 2017 Legislative Session Overview The 2017 regular spring session came to a close with a whimper late Wednesday night. The first year of the 100th General Assembly began with the legislature and Rauner administration returning to Springfield following an acrimonious and bitter 2016 election cycle. The Democrats attempted to make the elections a referendum on the efforts of the Governor and legislative Republicans to tie non-budgetary items such as workers compensation reform, pension relief and property tax relief to the state’s budget. For their part the Republicans did the same, with messaging centered on the use of increasing income tax and protection of union interests against the Democrats. The Democrats seemingly won the day in the 2016 March primary election, defending Republican Senator Sam McCann against a Governor Rauner funded opponent who was slated as punishment for McCann’s stance against Rauner on an AFSCE friendly bill, and defeating incumbent House Democrat Ken Dunkin for his staunch support of the Republican Governor. As well, they handily defeated a Rauner funded primary opponent of Speaker Madigan (placing a primary opponent against a sitting legislative leader is all but verboten in Springfield, making this move something of a shock to the Springfield political establishment). These victories, however, weren’t quite the sign of things to come that some expected in the November general election. In the race for Illinois’ junior Senate seat, Democrat Tammy Duckworth easily surpassed incumbent Republican Senator Mark Kirk.

    Oberweis Supports Making It Harder for Women to Get Birth Control and Opposes a Woman's Right to Choose Even in Cases of Rape

    Oberweis supports making it harder for women to get birth control and opposes a woman’s right to choose even in cases of rape and incest. 2016: Oberweis Voted Against Requiring Individual Or Group Health Policies To Cover All Contraceptive Drugs. Oberweis voted against HB5576, “Makes changes to a Section concerning coverage for contraceptives. Provides that an individual or group health policy shall provide coverage for all contraceptive drugs, devices, and other products approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, including over-the-counter contraceptive drugs, devices, and products; voluntary sterilization procedures; contraceptive services, patient education, and counseling on contraception; and follow-up services related to their use. Provides that if the United States Food and Drug Administration has approved one or more therapeutic equivalent versions of a contraceptive drug, device, or product, a policy is not required to include all therapeutic equivalent versions in its formulary, so long as at least one is included and covered without cost-sharing; if an individual's attending provider recommends a particular service or item approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration based on a determination of medical necessity with respect to that individual, the plan or issuer must cover that service or item without cost sharing and the plan or issuer must defer to the determination of the attending provider; if a drug, device or product is not covered, plans and issuers must have an easily accessible, transparent, and sufficiently expedient process that is not unduly burdensome on the individual or a provider or person acting as a patient's authorized representative to ensure coverage without cost sharing; and that coverage must provide for the dispensing of 12 months' worth of contraception at one time.
