Primary election results
I voted at about an hour before closing time, and I was the 15th voter of the entire day, so I think turnout is probably low in this election.
If you want to monitor the results as they come in, here are the links:
Elgin City Councilman - 2y (Cook County)
Elgin City Councilman - 2y (Kane County)
Elgin Township Trustee (Democrat)
Elgin Township Trustee (Republican)
Update:
Cook County election results show the top four finishers as:
Mike Warren - 73 votes (22%)
Emi Morales - 71 votes (21%)
Mike Robins - 69 votes (21%)
Brenda Rodgers - 58 votes (17%)
Nobody got more than 100 votes in Cook County (16 precincts).
Still waiting for Kane County results.
By the way, the Kane County elections website has been total garbage all night. Sometimes the pages would simply disappear, sometimes data that’s supposed to be one page ends up on another page. Right now the page for the city council results is blank, and on all pages where results are being shown, it’s saying 0 of 35 precincts voting. They need to figure out what they’re doing over there.
Update Again:
I’m guessing that Kane County results are done, though their site claims 0 of 62 precincts reporting.
Mike Warren - - 645 votes
Emi Morales - 461 votes
Brenda Rodgers - 301 votes
Mike Robins - 269 votes
It looks like like Brenda Rodgers edged out Mike Robins by about 20 votes to take 3rd place.
The top Democrats for Elgin Township Trustee:
Carol Rauschenberger - 603 votes
Ana Ortiz - 509 votes
Deborah Willis - 523 votes
The data for Republicans cannot be found anywhere on the site–right now at least.
What do these results mean?

To me it means business as usual in Elgin.
It looks like Mike Robins came out of nowhere to take 4th place, which puts him in the election
April 7.
He has a lot of positive momentum moving forward.
I’ve met Mike. Good guy. Great candidate.
If AFLA backs him with 100 percent of its resources and supporters, watch out.
Ralphie:
Business as usual? Talk to Mike Robins. There’s nothing status quo about him.
The top two got more votes than the bottom four combined. Warren and Morales = business as usual. Robins is the dark horse, or should I say, a “cinderella man.”
Cinderella- wasn’t AFLA 100 percent with him? Theyve held meet and greets for him and support him at all the forums. What happened to the 3000 registered afla voters?He even has AFLA on all his signs.Fernandez never had a chance and Charlene took herself out of the running by the way she handled the DUI leaving Mike all by himself for 4th place… Its going to be between Mike Warren and Emi Morales,should be a good race between the 2.
My hope is that Morales, Rodgers and Warren, all three illegal alien sympathizers, roll-overs and enablers, will cancel each other out and leave Robins to walk in.
Now it can be said: If you want MORE illegals in Elgin, vote for either Rodgers, who runs to the Federal skirt of illegals, Warren, who is mayor Ed Schock’s boy (how shameful for a grown man to be associated with a mayor in this manor), or Morales, who is sworn to uphold the anti-American agenda of LULAC and will add to the boatload of illegals and their anchor babies ALREADY entrenched in Elgin.
Americans have NO chance of saving Elgin without Robins. It’s clear. The other three in this race now have made it clear. THEY WANT MORE ILLEGALS IN ELGIN. When you ignore a problem you ARE asking for more of what you are ignoring.
Anyone want to volunteer THEIR home as an illegal alien hideout? Or, loan THEIR address out to anchor babies so they can go to U-46 schools? If so, contact Warren, Morales and Rodgers.
“My hope is that Morales, Rodgers and Warren, all three illegal alien sympathizers, roll-overs and enablers, will cancel each other out and leave Robins to walk in.”
The flaw is that the people who voted for them didn’t do so because they are looking for “pro-illegal alien” candidates. How one-track minded do you have to be to think that these three distinct candidates have voter pools that are exactly the same??? A little too much of the AFLA punch, my friend - believe it or not, the world isn’t black and white, and either devoted to furthering illegal immigration or a card-carrying member of AFLA.
Any time you have three candidates who either dismiss or diminish the #1 problem/curse in Elgin, it IS black and white.
If the #1 issue in Elgin was non-working traffic lights and three candidates ignored it or said it wasn’t that bad, how would you feel? The same way, I bet.
Like it or not, illegal aliens IS Elgin’s #1 issue. When there are local ideas that may lead to local solutions on the table and three people ignore them, or say illegals are not a problem, like Morales said, then that IS black and white.
“Like it or not, illegal aliens IS Elgin’s #1 issue.”
YOU believe that, but not everyone, and it’s not because they are ignoring it.
Can’t wait to start working against Robins, maybe the AFLA nuts will make empty promises like the lefties who said they would leave if Gore were elected, oh wait they stayed!!!
OK you AFLA supporters, let’s continue to hear your incoherent strung together words!!!!
Warren seems like a nice enough business guy. Morales has youth and vision.
Rodgers - old hat
Robins - a joke
The Voice of the People
As Citizens for Lenora Scruggs, we believe that the way to change our local conditions, is to change the local governing bodies (the current council members). For so long we have been kept in the dark about the pay to play politics going on right here in our city. No longer should the council members we elect, ignore the voice of the people. The current council’s bad decisions, have made it impossible for businesses to grow in the downtown area, they have made it impossible to obtain affordable housing for it’s residents, they have made it impossible for the citizens to know how their tax monies are being allocated. It is insane, when council members hold seats for 20+ years as our city struggles to grow and they shun the people, and have no answers. Change Elgin, by changing your vote. Vote for Lenora Scruggs for City Council in April, she will work for all the citizens of Elgin to bring about the change we need. Transparency of the councils dealing, affordable housing for the citizens of Elgin, Economic development for businesses and the community. “This change must happen for our citizens, and our children.
Stop the Insanity!
Insanity is doing the same thing, yet expecting different results. Stop the Insanity!
Vote for Change
Anyone that knows Scruggs would know how incapable she would be as a leader. Voting for her would be insane.
“Warren seems like a nice enough business guy.”
Oh, sure he is. He’s so nice he’s allowing the mayor to hook up strings to his back and stand above him like a puppeteer, ready to jump away from the illegal alien issue. He also will pull the string that says, “yes, mayor” to whatever the mayor wants. My kind of puppet but NOT my kind of councilman. There’s too many like him there now.
“Morales has youth and vision.”
Oh, sure she does. The kind that most illegal aliens enablers and sympathizers have. Her vision is whatever LULAC, SOAP and all the other illegal alien enablers tell her it is. After that, she has no vision. When you have your head in the sand, you CAN’T have any vision.
Again, if you want MORE ILLEGAL ALIENS in Elgin, vote for Morales, Warren or Rodgers. Less, vote for Robins.
“Vote for Lenora Scruggs for City Council in April, she will work for all the citizens of Elgin to bring about the change we need.”
Lenora Scruggs? Working for “all the citizens”? Citizens? Thanks for the joke, SB.
Lenora Scruggs is an extreme Blagocrat and Jesse Jackson/PUSH leader who has cut her political teeth with PUSH pal and alleged insurance fraudster Walter Blalark managing PUSH’s racial harassment of U-46. She is aligned with all the local interests that are responsible for the collapse of U-46 as a successful American educational endeavor. Sharing a vision of Elgin as a riverside version of some Chicago ghetto, Scruggs works through the “Unity in the Community” movement with all the other local agents of poverty, ethnic division and illegal alien activism to exterminate the last vestiges of middle class life from the community. It’s truly pathetic that as black Americans are some of the most grievously injured portions of our nation by the illegal alien menace that some blacks like Scruggs can’t wait to build political careers off the resulting poverty and social deterioration. Scruggs represents everything that makes Illinois and its toxic politics the joke of the world. In short, she’s part of the problem and is “change” honest and responsible Americans, whatever their skin color, don’t need. We already have one wannabe ethnic Machine Queen in Emi Morales and don’t need the female version of Roland or Bobby Rush in town.
OMG-RM- tell me, do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
Hey Elgin joe, Emi supporter, there you go again sounding like a true portage park archie bunker!
