ELECTION NIGHT!

UPDATE at 10:15pm

Franklin County has one holdout precinct.  We guestimate about 261 votes, or one percent of the total district vote.  This thing is over.  Congratulations to the two new John A. Logan College Board members!  The new trustees will be Mandy Little and Becky Borgsmiller.  We are hopeful that they will usher in a new era of transparency, integrity and good will at the College.  Good night all!

As we've done in the past, we will attempt to live blog election results.  These are a combination of tabulations from news sites, such as WSIL and the Southern Illinoisan and the various county websites, in the district.  Polls closed at 7pm. Results are now coming in.
