In the judicial retention election, it is decided by ALL votes that are cast. To win, and be retained a judge must have attained a winning margin of 60% of all votes cast for them and not a 50% + 1 majority vote like in a typical election, like in a aldermanic race where you can win by one vote. I think it was back in 1990 when a judge was defeated. It's not easy to do. Most voters just pick names they like on the 'long' ballot when it includes the judges and are not determined enough to vote…

Most voters just pick names they like on the 'long' ballot when it includes the judges and are not determined enough to vote NO and just want to get out of the polling place and get on with their lives. That's why judge's are in for the long haul. It is frustrating and in need of reform.<br/>
Vote NO (252) to not retain Judge Paula Daleo. You must submit your vote for a No vote for a judge.<br/>
<br/>
With the Safe Roads Amendment to the Illinois Constitution, you are asked by the pro-amendment (YES) lobby to not ignore the amendment because they need your yes vote to achieve a 60% approval margin. Vote NO regardless to assert that your voice is heard.<br/>

<p>So, which is it?? ALL voters or all voters in the judicial election? Does abstaining mean YES or NO? What you and Bob claim differ. From where I stand, the water is just muddier. What's the value of "exercising" one's right to vote when one doesn't understand the full implications (as in the so-called Safe Roads Admentment) or is not at all familiar with the vast majority of candidates as in the case of the litany of judges and the Potemkin exercise of various bar associations "qualifying"…</p>

Oh yes, elections are complicated.<br />
<br />
To win a judicial retention election in Illinois, a candidate must receive 60% of ALL votes cast in their election in order to (win) be retained. It is not required that you must vote for any or all judges. A non-vote in the judicial elections is NOT counted as a YES vote.<br />
<br />
In the Safe Roads Amendment to the Constitution it IS the (approval) percentage of ALL voters that participate in the statewide election. So a non-vote here ends up counting as a NO…

Despite the complications, please exercise your right to vote in all elections. Remember it's 40% of ALL vote…tag:thechainlink.org,2016-11-02:2211490:Comment:10255962016-11-02T15:34:24.065ZBob Kastigarhttps://thechainlink.org/profile/BobKastigar
<p>Remember it's 40% of ALL voters, so if you don't vote it's the same thing as a YES vote to retain the judge. </p>
<p>That's why so many, if not all of the judges are retain: few bother to vote on the issues.</p>
