Description

As we await election results tonight, our eyes are likely to get pulled to big congressional, legislative, and gubernatorial races. But you’ll also want to keep an eye on the Illinois Supreme Court, where Democrats’ decades-long majority is at stake, and the attorney general’s race. From public safety to access to abortion, these offices have a lot of influence. WBEZ criminal justice reporter Shannon Heffernan breaks down the AG’s race, while Injustice Watch editor Jonah Newman explains how two suburban Supreme Court races could affect the state.

Polls close tonight at 7 p.m. Check for your polling place.
