Talk:2020 Cook County, Illinois, elections

Order of sections
May I ask why you re-ordered the Circuit Court Clerk section to be above State's Attorney section? Both are county-wide races and the State's Attorney race has been more contentious and prominent. I'm not necessarily opposed, but curious about the reasoning. Thanks! Kumar (talk) 16:45, 16 March 2020 (UTC)


 * I felt it made more sense for these to be ordered alphabetically. Since we are an encyclopedic resource, and not a tabloid, I feel the amount of media attention paid to a race should not be the means in which we order their inclusion in the article. It seemed like a more objective way of arranging the article. It also provides consistency, as we can order all articles about Cook County elections in midterm-years this way, with Circuit Court Clerk before State's Attorney. It'd be confusing for individuals navigating all existing (and future) Cook County elections articles for these years if the order the races are listed varied severely between years. It helps navigation SecretName101 (talk) 17:13, 16 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Sure, that reasoning makes sense to me. Kumar (talk) 23:37, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
