McHenry County Democrats Out Polling Republicans in Presidential Ballots

With 86% of precincts counted in McHenry County, Democrats have 51.2% of the ballots cast for president.

This tracks nicely with the early voting totals, in which voters were taking 51% of the ballots cast when I wrote my story.

So, is this a result of Obama fever?

Barack Obama did beat Hillary Clinton by almost 2-1 (almost 63% to almost 36%).

Was the more fervent support of the Democratic presidential candidates the reason for more people taking Democratic Party ballots in this supposed Republican County?

If you were the Democrats, wo?

Or would you stick to just one—the county coroner’s office, with Republican turned Democrat Dave Bachmann, who started Bachmann funeral home, being the candidate?
