The current Illinois Supreme Court has 4 Democrats and 3 Republicans. The 3rd Supreme Court District is Republican majority, and removing Democrat Thomas Kilbride would lead to a 4 Republican to 3 Democrat majority on the court.
VOTE NO TO RETAIN TOM KILBRIDE!
Each of the 7 Justices on the Illinois Supreme Court are on the ballot every 10 years for retention on the Supreme Court. For a sitting Supreme Court Justice to remain on the court, that justice needs 60% of the votes cast for retention.
Thomas Kilbride has been on the court since 2000. In 2010, three other Supreme Court Justices won retention votes with 80% Yes votes. Thomas Kilbride only received 66% Yes Votes. Flipping 3% of the vote in 2020 would only require 31,000 voters in the 21 counties in the 3rd Supreme Court District. In Tazewell County, about 1,130 voters need to be flipped.
