POST-ELECTION REPORT Presidential Election Suburban Cook County November 4, 2008 Cook County Clerk David Orr Office of Cook County Clerk David Orr 69 W. Washington, Suite 500 Chicago, IL 60602 Dear Friends: The November 4, 2008 Presidential Election set records in suburban Cook County for registered voters, youth participation and Early Voting turnout. The number of ballots cast fell just shy of the 1992 record. This post-election report will give you an opportunity to mull over some of the results and give you a snapshot of political trends in today’s Cook County suburbs. For example: ¾ Democratic presidential candidate and Illinois Senator Barack Obama captured the highest number of votes (698,158) ever recorded by a presidential candidate in suburban Cook County. ¾ Obama also won more townships (27) than any Democratic presidential candidate in history and 89 percent of all suburban precincts. ¾ Barrington is the only township to choose both the Republican presidential and U.S. Senate candidates, John McCain and Steve Sauerberg, respectively. ¾ More than 226,000 voters – or 22 percent of all voters – cast ballots early, quadrupling the Early Voting turnout during the February primary. ¾ Final results include 226,084 Early Voting ballots, about 2,000 provisional ballots and 27,000 absentee ballots. ¾ Three townships – Oak Park, New Trier and River Forest – surpassed 80 percent turnout. ¾ Youth involvement surged as 550 college students applied to work as equipment managers and more than 1,700 students from 94 high schools applied to be election judges, both records. As always, full election results are available on our website, www.voterinfonet.com.

Nearly 22 percent of all suburban Cook County ballots were cast before Election Day. The number of early voters more than quadrupled since from February primary, from 50,655 to 226,084 voters. An additional 4,129 grace period ballots and 875 in-person absentee ballots were cast before Election Day. Three of the 44 Early Voting sites – Orland Park, Wheeling and Matteson – served more than 10,000 voters each from Oct. 13-30. And in a dozen precincts, more than 40 percent of all voters cast ballots early.

Wheeling Township Hall and Matteson Village Hall were the second and third busiest, respectively, each serving more than 10,000 voters between Oct.13-30. xvi EARLY VOTING GETS THUMBS UP All Early Voting took place on touch screen voting equipment from Oct. 13-30. On randomly chosen days, 700 voters from eight of the 44 suburban Cook County Early Voting locations filled out surveys about their voting experience. Despite lines in many locations where turnout was heaviest, voters overwhelmingly rated their experience as positive. Early Voting Survey Results Description of voting experience Surveys returned % of surveys Excellent 477 64% Very Good 205 27% Fair 46 6% Poor 15 2% No Answer 3 0% Early Voting Experience Excellent Very good Fair Poor No response Total 746 100% ¾ 91 percent of the early voters surveyed rated Early Voting as positive. ¾ At two survey sites where most voters were new to Early Voting – 89 and 95 percent were first-time voters at Orland Park and downtown Chicago, 69 W. Washington, respectively – 98 percent categorized their experiences as “excellent” or “very good.” ¾ Voters gave a wide array of reasons for voting early, but most commonly cited convenience (40 percent), avoiding crowds (23 percent) and traveling (11 percent). More than 12 percent voted early for multiple reasons. ¾ Voters were most likely to hear about Early Voting from the media (38 percent). A substantial percentage heard about it through a mailing (17 percent), or by word of mouth (11 percent). Multiple reasons were cited by 17 percent of respondents. ¾ Early voters cited proximity to home as the most likely reason to choose an Early Voting site. xvii SPOTLIGHT: EVANSTON & THE YOUTH VOTE Evanston Township, home to nationally known Northwestern University, is a provocative study in youth voting trends during the 2008 Presidential Election. Despite record-setting youth voter registration in suburban Cook County and anecdotal evidence of youth interest in the presidential campaign, student voting nosedived on the college campus—which is located on the east side of Evanston, along Lake Michigan. However, a closer look at the numbers suggests this could be evidence of increased, rather than diminished student interest in the election. Members of the Northwestern student body come from across the country: 75 percent of the 7,976 undergraduates are from outside Illinois (there are also more than 7,000 graduate students). Thus, outof-state students may have actively chosen to vote absentee in their home ‘swing’ states if they knew Illinois was not in play during the presidential race due to campaigns such as “votebackhome.com.” 2004 Registered # of Voters Precinct Voters Jane R.

They had from 19 to 23 percent turnout. The next lowest turnout jumped to over 65 percent, meaning other low-turnout precincts had over three times the turnout rates as the college precincts. Four of the ‘low’ turnout precincts in Evanston actually had more voters in 2008 than in 2004. xviii General Election November 4, 2008 Cook County & The City of Chicago Combined Summary Ballots Cast Cook County City of Chicago Combined Total 1,056,242 1,105,998 2,162,240 Cook County City of Chicago Combined Total Percentage YES 284,912 318,139 603,051 39.14% NO 519,610 418,202 937,812 60.86% 804,522 736,341 1,540,863 Cook County City of Chicago Combined Total Percentage Barack Obama & Joe Biden - DEM 698,158 930,866 1,629,024 76.21% John McCain & Sarah Palin - REP 338,481 149,255 487,736 22.82% Cynthia McKinney & Rosa Clemente - GRN 1,662 2,344 4,006 0.19% Bob Barr & Wayne A.
