80%

That's how many eligible voters in Chicago actually cast ballots, according to projections published in this morning's Sun-Times--roughly in line with projections for the state as a whole (75-80%) and well ahead of the projected national average (64%).

Bravo, Windy City, bravo.

As for the 20% of you who didn't vote...where the hell were you while history was being made?

I don't have anything particularly profound to say about the election itself, though. The results pretty much speak for themselves with far more eloquence than anything I could add.
