>>> HAPPY VOTING INDEED.

IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY CAST YOUR BALLOT, TOMORROW IS YOUR LAST CHANCE BECAUSE THAT'S HOW ELECTION DAY WORKS.

IF YOU ARE STILL UNDECIDED OR UNCLEAR ABOUT WHAT ALL IS ON THE BALLOT, YOU COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.

AMANDA VINICKY JOINS US NOW WITH A RUNDOWN OF WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW HEADING INTO ELECTION DAY 2022.

>> A LITTLE BIT LIKE CRAMMING BEFORE A FINAL EXAM BECAUSE IT MAY BE MORE LIKE A GIANT PUBLIC TESTING THE RESULTS OF COURSE HAVE IMPLICATIONS THAT WILL LAST FOR YEARS.

TOMORROW, VOTERS IN ILLINOIS WILL DECIDE CONTESTS RANGING FROM WHO WILL BE THE NEXT GOVERNOR TO WHETHER THE STATE WILL AMEND ITS CONSTITUTION.

COMING UP WE'LL HEAR FROM FOLKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE UNION BACKED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT VOTE.

LET'S JUMP RIGHT IN WITH ANOTHER CONTEST AT THE TOP OF THE BALLOT.

THAT IS THE RACE FOR ILLINOIS GOVERNOR BETWEEN INCUMBENT DEMOCRAT JB PRITZKER AND LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JULIANA STRATTON, THEY RUN AS TEAMS, AND THEN REPUBLICAN STATE SENATOR DARREN BAILEY AND HIS RUNNING MATE, RADIO HOST STEPHANIE TRUSSELL.

BOTH TEAMS SPENDING TIME TODAY ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

BAILEY GAINED STATEWIDE ATTENTION EARLY IN THE COVID PANDEMIC WITH PROTESTS AGAINST PRITZKER'S EXECUTIVE ORDERS TEMPORARILY REQUIRING SOME BUSINESSES AND SCHOOLS TO CLOSE, AND AN EXECUTIVE ORDER MANDATING MASKS BE WORN.

BAILEY ENDING HIS CAMPAIGN ON THAT THEME.

>> JB PRITZKER USES OUR KIDS TO MAKE POLITICAL POINTS.

HE LOCKS SCHOOLCHILDREN OUT OF THEIR CLASSROOMS, AND HE TRIES TO TWIST THEIR TENDER MINDS WITH IDEOLOGY IN HIS QUEST TO BE THE MOST LEFT-WING GOVERNOR IN AMERICA.

NOW HIS MINIONS ARE LOOKING TO IMPOSE VACCINE MANDATES ON OUR CHILDREN.

JB IS -- NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT, THAT'S RIGHT.

>> BAILEY WAS SURROUNDED BY WHAT HIS CAMPAIGN CALLS MAMA BEARS , AS YOU HEARD HIM AT THE END THERE.

THIS WAS AT A MORNING EVENT IN SUBURBAN OAK BROOK.

HE SAYS EVEN PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS DISCUSSING VACCINES SHOW THAT PRITZKER IS PLANNING TO ADD THE COVID SHOT TO THE LIST OF VACCINATIONS ILLINOIS STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE IN ORDER TO ENROLL IN SCHOOL, UNLESS THEY HAVE A RELIGIOUS OR MEDICAL EXEMPTION.

>> ANOTHER EXPERIMENT IS IN THE WORKS.

LARGE-SCALE CHILD VACCINATION.

JB THINKS THAT PARENTS ARE DIMWITS AS HE LIES TO THEM.

>> PRITZKER, THOUGH, SAYS HIS ADMINISTRATION IS NOT CONSIDERING A COVID VACCINE REQUIREMENT FOR ILLINOIS STUDENTS.

WHEN ASKED ABOUT IT IN A CAMPAIGN STOP IN SPRINGFIELD, THE GOVERNOR RESPONDED, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING.

HE SAYS IT'S A LAST-MINUTE ATTEMPT BY BAILEY TO WIN VOTES AFTER A CAMPAIGN CENTERED ON MISINFORMATION.

>> ERIN DAILEY AND THE REPUBLICANS WANT TO TAKE THIS STATE BACKWARDS.

DARREN BAILEY WANTS TO END WORKERS RIGHTS TO ORGANIZE AND HE WANTS TO END THE STATE MINIMUM WAGE.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

>> BAILEY'S CAMPAIGN SAYS THAT IF PRITZKER WHO IS SAYING RIDICULOUS THINGS TO RILE UP HIS BASE.

BAILEY AS A STATE SENATOR VOTED NO ON THE PRITZKER SIGNED LAW THAT WILL RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE STATEWIDE TO $15 BY 2025, BUT IN ONE OF TWO TELEVISED DEBATES THIS CAMPAIGN SEASON, BAILEY SAID HE WOULD NOT RESEND THAT MINIMUM WAGE LAW .

PRITZKER SAYS BAILEY IS OTHERWISE UNFIT FOR THE STATE'S TOP JOB.

>> HE FOUNDED A SCHOOL THAT TEACHES YOUNG PEOPLE THAT SLAVE MASTERS WERE GOOD TO THEIR SLAVES.

THAT TEACHES -- IN 2022 -- TEACHES YOUNG PEOPLE THAT WOMEN ARE INFERIOR TO MEN.

THIS MAN SHOULDN'T COME ANYWHERE NEAR THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE, AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET HIM, ARE WE?

>> NO.

>> YOU HEARD FROM BOTH CANDIDATES , CHARACTERISTIC OF THE WHOLE CAMPAIGN.

BAILEY SAYS PRITZKER IS A TYRANT WHO IS TOO LIBERAL.

PRITZKER SAYS BAILEY IS TOO EXTREME AND TOO CONSERVATIVE.

>> STRONG WORD FROM BOTH SIDES.

LET'S MOVE DOWN THE TICKET.

WHAT OTHER BIG RACES ARE THERE?

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM.

THE U.S.

SENATE SEAT CURRENTLY HELD BY DEMOCRAT TAMMY DUCKWORTH.

SHE'S FACING REPUBLICAN KATHY SELBY.

WTTW HELD A FORUM ON THAT.

YOU CAN WATCH IT ON OUR WEBSITE.

ALSO, ALL OF THE STATEWIDE CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICES, ATTORNEY GENERAL CRUMMY RUM WELL VERSUS TOM DeVORE.

"CHICAGO TONIGHT" HAD A FORUM WITH THOSE CANDIDATES.

ALSO WE HAVE COMPTROLLER.

THAT IS SUSANNA MENDOZA VERSUS REPUBLICAN SHANTHA RECENT AND TREASURER, FOR THAT IT IS INCUMBENT MIKE FREDERICK VERSUS -- REPUBLICAN, THAT IS, SORRY ABOUT THAT, MEMBER OF THE ILLINOIS HOUSE CURRENTLY TODD DEMERS .

THEN SECRETARY OF STATE.

THIS IS THE ONLY OPEN SEAT, BECAUSE DEMOCRAT JESSE WHITE IS NOT RUNNING AGAIN, MEANING NEITHER REPUBLICANS DAN BRADY, HE'S A LONGTIME STATE LEGISLATOR, NOR DEMOCRAT ALEXI GIANNOULIAS, A FORMER STATE TREASURER, ARE GOING IN WITH THE INCUMBENT'S ADVANTAGE.

DEMOCRATS DO HAVE ONE ADVANTAGE, THOUGH, AND THAT IS MONEY.

BOTH FROM UNIONS AS WELL AS A WHOLE LOT OF FUNDING FROM PRITZKER, WHO IS A BILLIONAIRE.

HE'S CONTRIBUTED TO CANDIDATES UP AND DOWN THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET, INCLUDING PROPPING UP THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES FOR ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT.

SUBURBAN VOTERS IN THE COLLAR COUNTIES WILL HAVE A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE IN ONE OF TWO SUPREME COURT RACES AND THE OUTCOMES OF THOSE COULD FLIP CONTROL FROM DEMOCRATIC TO REPUBLICAN ON THE STATE HIGH COURT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DECADES.

>> OF COURSE, A LOT OF THESE RACES, WE'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT THEM OVER THE COURSE OF THIS CAMPAIGN SEASON.

WHAT ABOUT LEGISLATIVE RACES?

>> YOU'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT THIS ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL AND CONTROL OF CONGRESS IS AT STAKE, AND THERE IS ONE SIGN THAT DEMOCRATS ARE WORRIED ABOUT SOME OF THE SEATS THEY CURRENTLY HOLD IN ILLINOIS.

THIS PAST WEEKEND VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS STOMPED HERE.

THE PRESIDENT ALSO CAMPAIGNED IN THE SUBURBS ON FRIDAY.

SO YOU'VE GOT THE SIXTH, 11th, 13th, 14th AND 17th DISTRICTS.

THOSE ARE AMONG THOSE YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK OUT FOR .

THEN, AS FOR THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE, ALL 177 GENERAL ASSEMBLY SEATS ARE ON THE BALLOT.

ROUGHLY 100 OF THOSE ARE CONTESTED, AND OF THOSE, EXPECT ABOUT A DOZEN OR
