My wife and I voted in the Illinois Primary before work this morning.

We moved since the general (same town) so had to go to a dffferent corner of the gym, but it was dead empty at 0615, we figured it all out.

Biggest race is for Dick Durbin's Senate seat.

I voted for Julianna Stratton, because JB endorsed her.

AAAAANNNDDD - we voted against Rajah. we 've been seeing his adds for months and wondered where he got all that cash...

Well, He is backed by a Crypto bro Super PAC.

Also, he voted to hold the Clintons in contempt during that shameful dog and pony show put on by the House GOP.

Sorry Rajah, but playing ball with MAGA and shitting on Bill and Hilary? I think you are a potential Fetterman, and Mrs Polack just doesn't trust you.

No.

Can't risk it.

Because it became evident the race was between Stratton and Raja. His incessant commercials were a big turn off, obviously funded by big money.
