Deborah Bayliss | As of Thursday, October 23, 2014


While President Barack Obama was in town to support Ill. Gov. Pat Quinn’s quest for re-election, he urged voters on Sunday during an Early Vote Rally, put on by Quinn’s campaign team, to take advantage of Early Voting which opened on Monday. The President joined almost 2 million voters as he cast his ballot early Monday morning at the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center at 47th St. and Cottage Grove Ave. in Chicago.
