According to write-in candidate Randy Stufflebeam’s website, he received 72,964 votes for Governor, or 1.79% of the total votes cast. Not a bad showing for a write-in candidate who did very little advertising and got virtually no press.

League of Women Voters targets gerrymandering
From a League of Women Voters of Greater Peoria press release:
Illinois redistricting, “ILLINOIS JOIN UP — REDISTRICTING ON THE SQUARE”, will be the subject of a special morning meeting of the League of Women Voters of Greater Peoria on Saturday, November 18th at the Lariat Steakhouse, 2232 W. Glen, Peoria, IL.
THIS MEETING IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
League members have been studying the [redistricting] question for about a year, and committee chairman Dr. Elliott Murray, with Jim Thomas and Bruce Brown, will present an overview of the committee’s work and a proposed action plan for change.
The presentation begins at 9:30 AM, but a buffet breakfast ($10.00 which includes tax and tip) will be available at 8:45. Please call Bill Hall at 309-691-4706 if you plan to have breakfast.
Bravo to the League of Women Voters for tackling our heavily gerrymandered Congressional districts.
