West Side turnout high, while city-wide numbers down
If the combined $100 million spent this year by Gov. Pat Quinn and newly-elected challenger Bruce Rauner didn’t tip you off, this year’s midterm elections were a big deal.
And Chicago’s West Side was paying close attention to last week’s midterm elections, more so than the city as a whole.
In the 28th, 29th and 37th wards, turnout was higher this year compared with four years ago.
The number of ballots cast were up from 37,835 in 2010 to 40,030 this year, according to data posted on the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners website.
