Early voting statistics from Kane County
Geognerd analyzes the early voting statistics released by the Kane County Clerk’s office:
There were six precincts where over 50% of the registered voters had already voted. These precincts corresponded with three neighborhoods that have a high population of retired and elderly persons. The precincts were Rutland 3, 4, 7, and 9, Elgin 59, and Elgin 12. The Rutland precincts are made up of Sun City Huntley neighborhoods. Elgin 59 includes the newly built Del Webb Edgewater retirement community. Elgin 12 is the Willow Lakes Estates retirement/trailer home community…
To conclude, the top 20 precincts for early voting turnout report over 35% of their registered voters have voted already. These 20 precincts serve either elderly or wealthy populations and likely had an early voting site in proximity. The precincts reporting less than 10% of their voters coming out early are Hispanic or more blue collar areas that were less well-served by early voting sites.
