Oct 29

Voted early on Saturday. There's no longer a "straight ticket" option, so I had to hit all the boxes. In my state representative district, there was no Democrat running, so I didn't vote for the Republican, and made a note of that. I may file to run against him next time around.

No long lines, there were 15 machines in the room at the early voting location, but Cook County has 50 early voting locations and they are also open on election day, in case the lines get long.
