Also, a lot of votes left l, but based on turnout, tough to envision the Republican governor of Illinois keeping his job. Especially in this environment

Oh, Rauner's days were always numbered. He's signed too many liberal-leaning bills into law to hold onto the GOP base, and being a Republican in a Democratic wave year (especially in Illinois) was never going to end well for him.

Rauner vs. Pritzker is the one matchup I'd actually have to think about, specifically because Rauner has been so liberal leaning on social issues and has not been super hardline on fiscal issues either. I voted for Biss today but also liked Kennedy just fine. Pritzker I am not a huge fan of, particularly since he basically bought this election (he's been running ads non stop here on cable and Hulu for like four months already now) and he has connections to Blagovich who is still very much a bad name here in Illinois. When I got to the polling place I almost asked for a republican ballot just because I absolute hate Ives and did not have much of a preference between Biss and Kennedy and knew they were unlikely to win anyway.

...well, I mean, I would think about it in a normal year. Considering how unhappy I am with how Merrick Garland was handled and how mealy mouthed republicans as a whole have been towards Trump, I am voting straight democrat this November regardless. I've actually never done that before strangely enough.
