    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 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).

    The Legal Case Against Berrios

    7/3/2018 Yesterday's study on the Cook County Assessor's Office leaves no room for doubt. Our property tax system is broken. The Legal Case Against Berrios Latest study confirms that Office of Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios needs court oversight in order to reform Yesterday afternoon, a long-awaited independent report commissioned by Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle confirmed a series of previous studies dating back to 2011: Low-income communities are improperly and unfairly saddled with a disproportionate share of the property tax burden. In Chicago, Hispanic and African-American communities are systemically over- assessed when compared with residential properties in majority White areas. This is institutional racism. That’s why in December, Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights worked with our co-counsel Miner, Barnhill & Galland and Hughes Socol Piers Resnick https://mailchi.mp/clccrul.org/yesterdays-study-on-the-cook-county-assessors-office-leaves-no-room-for-doubt-our-property-tax-system-is-broken 1/4 7/3/2018 Yesterday's study on the Cook County Assessor's Office leaves no room for doubt.

At Chicago Lawyers’ Committee, we will not stand by while the Assessor’s Office breaks another promise. The ultimate goal of our lawsuit is to have the Court invalidate the County’s property tax assessment system, and to send an independent monitor who will supervise the adoption of a fairer, more accurate, and transparent model.
