“State legislative primary races do not typically get people fired up. For instance, primary voter turnout in 2014 was only about 15 percent in Cook County and less than 20 percent in the rest of the state.
But this year, the conflict between Democratic legislative leaders and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner is playing out in a couple of primary races for the General Assembly. These proxy wars have led to big spending and strange political bedfellows and projected these contests onto the statewide political stage.
The Illinois primary is March 15, but early voting is already underway.”
