I'm live blogging today, mostly from Lopez/Karpen HQ on Armitage near Kedzie in Chicago. We've just dispatched the last of our morning teams to their respective polling places.
Even though it was Election Eve, I went to see Magnolia Electric Co. and Bottomless Pit last night at the Abbey Pub. On the way home, on a stretch of Irving Park between Kimball and Sacramento (a half-mile for those of you unfamiliar with Chicago geography, I must have seen 35 of Omar's signs.
The Greens have more signs up in big parts of Chicago than the Democrats and Republicans combined right now. Or at least, we did as of four hours ago. That is very weird.
First report from downstate is that 50 people were lined up outside one polling place before 6 am. It's going to be a wild ride today.
