![]() (Daily Kos) Polls close at 8 PM ET (7 PM local time) for primary night in Illinois. We have plenty of exciting races to watch, and our guide to the key contests can be found here. The main event will be the race for governor, where Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner is trying to fend off a far-right challenge from state Rep. Jeanne Ives, and where three major Democrats (J.B. Pritzker, Chris Kennedy, and Daniel Biss) are competing to face him. There are also a number of competitive House primaries including in the 3rd District, where Blue Dog Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski is facing his first serious challenge in a decade from businesswoman Marie Newman. It only takes a simple plurality to win nomination in Illinois. We’ll also be covering the returns closely on Twitter.[/quote] |
