CHICAGO (CBS) — Early voting expanded this week across Cook County, and on Tuesday night, CBS News Chicago talked with some people casting their ballots ahead of Election Day.
As of Tuesday night, nearly 107,000 ballots had been received in Chicago—including those cast in person and by mail. Among those who have already voted or are waiting to cast their ballots, CBS News Chicago did not find any undecided voters.
Underneath the Clark/Lake ‘L’ stop downtown, ballots are being counted at Chicago’s voting Supersite.

“The stakes of this election are incredibly high, and it’s close,” said William Howell, the Sydney Stein Professor of American Politics at the University of Chicago. “I think Chicago is going to clearly break blue, and Illinois at the top of the ticket is going to break blue.”
Dan Gough, Jessica Shabot, and Tyler Burris—all of Chicago—each cast their ballots Tuesday.
