Info that the democrats have available in early voting lead in the Il-13th

to date nearly 15,000 votes been early voted. A new record for ANY election year. This number has been gathered by the democratic committees involved in the 13th district. According to my source, the votes are running 2-1 democratic based on party affiliation for primary voting. Of course this applies to only the voters who claimed a party affiliation/voted in primary. She figures the independent votes being split....as being a cautious estimate. No great surprise as we have a huge contest between Betsy Londrigan trying to unseat the republican incumbent. She has out raised him 2-1 and 70% of the money he has rasied has come from PACS where its just the opposite for her....a telltale sign for an incumbent NOT being able to raise money from voters in his own district.

More outside GOP PAcs coming in now to help out the incumbent Rodney Davis. 3 more debates left and Betsy now knows how willing Davis is to spout lies in her face and she will be 200% more prepared for the next debate. She has NO hesitation in calling him a liar to his face...the first debate, Davis totally embraced Trump and all things trump......the next debate is Thursday, Oct 18 at the University of Illinois. Betsy will go after Davis and his love of trump...
