White People not Voting for An Afro-American. TOTALLY FALSE IN ILLINOIS..Jessie White

[Stuart G]

Or..having difficulty Voting for an Afro-American Candidate...FALSE..

In Illinois the Secretary of State, (drivers licenses) Jessie White, an Afro-American has been elected to this state wide office continuously since 1998. Six terms.. He was reelected on Tuesday November 6 with approximately 68 percent of the total vote. Almost everyone likes the job Jessie is doing in Illinois. He totally reformed procedures for getting drivers licenses. What used to take hours, now is takes much less, depending on what kinds of things one wants to do at the Sec of States office. Further if you have to wait, there is a sign in the office that tells you the waiting time..Jessie is recognized by almost everyone as the best and most honest Sec of State we have ever had.

Pritkzer, a Democrat, who won election for governor on Tuesday got 54 percent of the vote, where as Jessie, also a Democrat got 68 percent of the vote. In a moment the numbers.

Governor
Pritkzer. Dem.2,300,000......54.9%
Rauner.. Repub.1,700,000....39.2%

Sec of State
Jessie White -. 3,006,000.....68%....Afro-American..This is the beginning of his 7th straight term..
Puke.............. 1,303,000... 30%

1. Of course. It was a statement made by someone from an almost all white state.

Where, apparently, they don't understand about these thing.

2. To make it more simple..this Democrat has been elected for 20 straight years..

same fellow, over and over and over again.. and he just got reelected on Tuesday for the next 4 years..

3. this is to imply bigotry does not exist...both know that is not true

besides who the hell would vote for a guy named puke

4. I guess another point should be made..in 2006, another Afro-American from

Illinois was elected to the United States Senate. Yes, bigotry exists throughout the United States, but there are examples where that bigotry has been defeated nation wide. That U.S. senator moved on to higher office. And..he was reelected to that higher office. I am not sure anyone expected that Afro-American to get elected to any higher office..but he did.

5. Jesse White is our most beloved state official and the SOS is best run

one in the country. He could easily be elected governor or senator but chooses to remain SOS.

6. Who Are Afro-American's?

It's Is African-American. Thank you, in advance.

7. It does seem a bit outdated, but I'd also thought it may have been a distinction...

... which referred to, or was inclusive of, Caribbean heritage.
