Chicago officials lay out Election Day security plans

The heightened concerns come two years after Donald Trump began falsely blaming widespread fraud for losing the presidency to Joe Biden — a claim that spawned conspiracy theories, fueled the riot at the U.S. Capitol and further polarized the political landscape.

CHICAGO - Election Day is upon us and with it comes the age-old question: Where is my polling place?

Polls will open at 6 a.m. Tuesday and close at 7 p.m. at 51 sites across Chicago.

Among the high-profile races in this year's election is a showdown between Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Republican challenger Darren Bailey.

At the top of the ticket, U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth seeks a second term against Kathy Salvi, a personal injury attorney who wants the post in part to crack Democrats’ control of Illinois government. Duckworth is a popular lawmaker, a disabled Iraq War veteran and Obama administration official. But Republicans believe they can reclaim the seat once held by Senate Minority Leader Everett McKinley Dirksen because it has seesawed between parties in the past quarter-century.

As of Sunday night, 237,219 people in Chicago had voted in the Nov. 8 general election.
