Just Early Voted in Illinois

Pleasant experience. I voted in this location before, though it's not my home polling place (you can vote anywhere in early voting); this place is close to my work.

Four or five people voting when I got there. All streamed through easily. Another four or five when I left, and a steady stream coming into the location.

No problems, and yes, I brought my SAMPLE BALLOT into the polling place to let me know who my local Dem org supported in Water Reclamation and Circuit Court. This is the ballot I used:

My local Ward sample ballot endorsed Anita Alvarez. I couldn't pull the lever for her.

Happy voting, all!
