IL-Gov. 2018 Megathread

[GlobeSoc]

I'm voting for Biss to attempt to block either member of the elite duo from winning the primary

[GlobeSoc]

Just found out that Congressperson Robin Kelly endorsed Biss for governor on the 17th. Will this have any tangible effect on the race, such as increasing his name recognition in Will county, or does this mean nothing?

Since Drury is no longer in the race, I have decided to support Rauner's re-election.

I'll alert the press.

If those fundraising numbers are true I might vote for Biss after all.

What did JB say in his victory speech?

Most shockingly: Gallatin County voting more than 70% Dem after voting over 70% for Trump in 2016.

Duckworth won Gallatin in 2016.

If you checked out my maps from 2014/2016 you would realize gallatin is one of those counties that just has a strong D electorate locally/in the primary. Gallatin, Putnam, and Calhoun are all like this. The IL-12 downstate region as a whole is more friendly to dems in the primary than in the general.

Well, some counties in IL-12 flipped from 2014/2010 primary, so that's cool I think
