Illinois report:

Hi! I just got done voting in central Illinois. The polling place I voted at was packed, and I mean ”it was hard to find a parking space” packed. I try to stay informed (regular NRO reader, after all), but there was a ballot entry I was surprised to see. In addition to the regular Senate seat in January, we were able to vote today for someone that will take over Roland Burris’ seat from now until January! Two different ballot questions. If that goes for Mark Kirk, the 60 vote majority in the Senate goes away. Considering what we’ve been hearing about the lame duck session, that’s pretty important. Keep up the good work!
