(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor Bruce Rauner and other Illinois Republicans rallied at the Benedictine University in Lisle on the eve of Tuesday’s election. Rauner was wrapping up a 9-day bus tour of the state with one last attempt to get his supporters to the polls. If we get the turnout, we’re going to win it,” predicted Rauner. He was joined by other Republicans including Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti. The two reminded voters that if Rauner loses the election Democrats will control the house and the governor’s mansion. “We have a governor that’s always stood up to Mike Madigan, and we have a governor who is going to stand up to the person that Mike Madigan appointed which is J.B. Pritzker,” said Sanguinetti. Rauner asked his supports to remind their neighbors to go the polls on Tuesday. He said voters have been telling him, “Stay strong, don’t back down don’t give in. You’re on the right track. Madigan has got to go.”)

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/414525-top-10-republican-house-seats-most-likely-to-flip-in-a-blue-wave
(FROM THE ARTICLE: PETER JAMES ROSKAM (IL-06) Democrats close campaign by hammering GOP on health care WaPo fact-checker accuses Republicans of misleading voters about fact-checks Bloomberg quietly spends millions in TV ads Roskam may have won reelection by a wide 18-point margin in 2016. But Clinton also claimed victory in his district, fueling Democratic optimism in the six-term Republican’s affluent, Chicagoland district. The Cook Political Report puts the race between Roskam and Democrat Sean Casten in the “Lean Democratic” column, and strategists say that Roskam’s prospects are shaky. Democrats are outspending Republicans to boost Casten in the district, and a recent New York Times/Siena College poll put the Democrat ahead by 2 points. Meanwhile, Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) is struggling in his bid for a second term and a poor performance on his part could trickle down the ballot, says one GOP strategist.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump also referred to the caravan of migrants fleeing violence in Central America — many of whom are now heading north through Mexico. He said the opposing party would welcome the migrants into the United States. “The Democrats want to invite caravan after caravan of illegal immigrants and they want to sign them up for free health care, free welfare, free education and for the right to vote,” he said. “It’s so unfair that people just walk across the border because our Democrat laws are no good,” he added.)
