Well, this is handy! Pick up a print copy of the Injustice Watch Cook County judicial election guide and bring it to that relative who still prefers the feel of paper and the act of turning pages. Early voting in the Illinois primary is going on now. Election Day is March 17.

Injustice Watch does good work. I've been using their (Chicagoland) Cook County judicial guides for several elections now, and it's soooo much better to be an informed voter rather than just relying on the qualified/not qualified ratings in newspapers. Highly recommend picking up a guide if you can!
All manner of cool places to pick up our guide but I would just note that two places to hang out and learn about judges are the Beer Temple and Bucket O’ Blood Books and Records. Could make a nice Saturday afternoon of it.
Here’s a map of locations where you can pick up a copy of our Cook County judicial election guide. New locations are being added through the end of this week! www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/v...
This is just flat-out good content. Love this.
Thank you!!
I was in my 30s the first time I ever heard just a general explanation of the structure of the court system in Cook County and it was this @chihacknight.org presentation from @mdoukmas.bsky.social

One of the themes we noticed with this spring’s judicial candidates? Family ties to the Cook County courts. One candidate is married to a judge, another has two siblings who have been judges, and a third is the son and grandson of former Cook County judges.
🚗 Volunteer with us! We need help distributing print copies of our judicial election guide across Cook County. buff.ly/ZRclFYE
Thanks to the Sun-Times for republishing my @injusticewatch.org story with David Jackson raising the curtain on the guide, highlighting some interesting races and explaining the most noticeable trend in local judicial races: Few people are running.
