Eat a Paczki & VOTE on this Fat Super Tuesday!

I meant to send this out this morning, but I'm celebrating my Polish heritage by enjoying my Paczki while watching the returns. I am keeping my eye out for the following local returns:

- Volo Home Rule Status
- Big Hollow Referendum
- Fox Lake Library Bonds
- Grant High School Bonds
- State Senate 26th District Democrats (Republican race was uncontested)

UPDATE : Below are the final tallies from the Lake County Clerk's website

All Precincts Reported
11:05pm

State Senate 26th (DEMOCRAT)

Volo Home Rule Status

Fox Lake Library Bonds

Not all the precincts have reported, but all the precincts that include Volo have reported. Looks like the voters were very generous, as every referenda on the table passed.
