Talk:2010 United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois

Polling
someone needs to update the polls in here for the 10th, 11th, 14th and 17th. I know someone has been for the 10th and 17th races, but the 11th and 14th need to be updated too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.62.185 (talk) 11:55, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Suggesting merging Teri Newman into this article because it fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:BIO as a stand-alone article. Arbor832466 (talk) 15:45, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Same rationale as above :) Arbor832466 (talk) 15:56, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * MERGE and redirect. I added some necessary links to the article in the meantime, but I can't see any reason it should exist. Nothing but a rehash of the campaign website. As I first posted on the articles' Talk page: This appears to be yet another article for a person not notable in his own right, but only in connection with an event. Therefore, Wikipedia guidelines state he shouldn't have his own article. Furthermore, there are no External links (Project Vote Smart, FEC, Open Secrets) which would add non-partisan information helpful to a reader. imo it's campaign literature, not an encyclopedia article. Not every candidate, or even nominee, has some 'right' to have a rah-rah campaign site. We have election articles for a reason. Flatterworld (talk) 15:48, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I have added the usual External links and a link to the actual election article as well until the Merge is done - which the creator of this article 'forgot' to include. This is the sort of blatant electioneering article which should never have been created in the first place. It's an insult to the reputation of Wikipedia. What part of 'encyclopedic' isn't clear?

Illinois's 17th congressional district election, 2010
This is the only District (Illinois's 17th congressional district election, 2010) which has its own election article, and I see no particular reason for that. There are lots of close races, and I see no reason why the material has to be duplicated. I've just spent a lot of time updating each article so they're back in sync, which is the usual problem when an additional article is created. What was especially irritating was that the Green Party candidate wasn't even mentioned in the lede or included in the infobox. He's on the ballot, so ignoring him is simply wrong.

IL-10 Oct 15, 2010 We Ask America poll
I removed the duplicate August 30–September 2, 2010 Anzalone Liszt Research poll from IL-10 and also removed the October 15, 2010 We Ask America poll. The crosstabs on that poll show a 135% representation in the Democrats column leading me to believe the data is questionable. Cheers Cardinal91 (talk) 19:31, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Final Results
Someone needs to update this article to include the final results and such. Please do that ASAP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.62.185 (talk) 22:24, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, officially Illinois has to wait until at least November 19, 2010 for absentee ballots to arrive; they count as long as they are postmarked by November 1 or 2, depending on the county. See October 25 2010 Press Release from the State Board of Elections. --Closeapple (talk) 01:07, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

I think we need to add it now, its already been added for the 8th and we need to add it to the rest of the races. Can someone please to it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Politics2012 (talk • contribs) 22:04, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
