IL early vote count: +1 for Paul & all his delegates

[agaiziunas]

Voted today (early voting in IL), so I finally get to update my signature!!! Of course I voted for Ron Paul and all of his IL CD16 delegates.

Felt good. Better than 2008. First time in my life I am on a ballot too, and get to vote for myself! ;-)


The polling place made me turn my Ron Paul shirt inside-out but no hitches. Saw the voting machine for Precinct 1 go up from 129 to 130 after scanning my ballot. Seemed normal, everyone was very nice at the early polling location. As I was pulling out of the parking lot, someone must have seen all the Ron Paul magnets on my truck because I heard a "Ron Paul!!!!" shout-out.

For Liberty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think we have any stealth delegates saying they are for Mitt/Newt/Santorum running as their delegates in IL? Also can Paul's delegates still win if Paul comes in last?

Yes. IL is a "loophole" primary where the delegates are elected directly. I know folks who voted for me as a delegate yet voted for another candidate in the "Presidential Preference Poll"...

My family name is well known and is very much liked by a LOT of people (especially in the older age groups) in this area for reasons I don't want to post publicly.

I only count 24 names. Where will the other 45 names come from? Since in IL that state has 69 total unbound delegates.

You only see the available delegates for your specific district.
