Per NPR: "Competitive Democratic primaries, for an open U.S. Senate seat and left-leaning U.S. House districts, highlight the state's primary elections."
As an illinoisan just a reminder Illinois politics is ass and we will probably pick the wrong people regardless of who it is.

Excited to have finally reached EDay, since once this is over Chicago mayoral discourse can finally kick off in earnest locally.
Voted Driver in CD7. Absurdly crowded field.

Kat’s pretty much cooked. Some of her best territory is already in and she’s running in third.

Kat at 19% with only Cook County reporting is not good for her. She has much more support there than Lake/McHenry so she cannot afford to be down so much already.

I hope Juliana Stratton wins. It’s crazy to see such a turn around. A few months ago it was taken for granted that Krishnamoorthi would win.

I’m still hoping Kat can pull through but at this point it seems unlikely. That really sucks tbh.
At least Stratton is doing well. I’m super pumped about that

Not a great start for Stratton. I’d want to see her consistently ahead by +18 in Chicago
If Kelly weren’t in, this wouldn’t be a contest. But the black caucus’ refusal to ease her out is probably gonna seal it for Raja

I did not expect both Fine and Abu to be running a distance behind Biss. Guess name recognition goes far.

all primaries should be ranked choice.

MS Now has Kat at 23% and in second with about 74% of the vote counted. Not looking great.

So for Bliss vs Kat…
Kat actually new where she stood on the issues.
Bliss was always so wishy-washy
As long as the progressives dont win I am happy.
