Okay so Iowa was a mess. Thankfully, here in Illinois, we have a lot more options for making our voices heard than showing up in a school gym for two hours:
Here is your friendly reminder that early voting begins this Thursday, and you have several options of places and times to cast your vote. Keep in mind, election day is March 17th which is over spring break, so you’ll want to take advantage if you’re planning to be out of town. You can also vote by mail if getting out and about is difficult, or if you don’t really want to talk to people.
Here are the dates/times/locations for early voting:
