More Illinois voters will have choices on the ballot this November – Chicago Sun-Times*

The general election on Nov. 8 is projected to have at least 82 contested statehouse races, the most in 24 years. The goal should be for voters to see a contested ballot for every statehouse contest. The City of Chicago has the bulk of Illinois’ uncontested districts — 33 out of 57 — with many of the areas showing the greatest need for representatives who act on their complex issues.
