Where there's a Will, there's a way

If you vote in the Democratic Primary in the Springfield area you won't see anyone on the ballot for State Senate. But, you will have the chance to place a Democrat on the November general election ballot by writing in John Devine.

According to his new website he needs 1,000 write-in votes in the primary election in order to be placed on the November ballot as the Democratic candidate. The seat is currently held by Larry Bomke. Bomke went unopposed in his last run for re-election in 2004 so John is doing voters a service by providing everyone with a choice. He's currently a student at UIS and I've been impressed by what he has to say when I've talked with him.
