Illinois voters discuss issues leading them to the polls

Illinois voters are laying out the critical issues driving them to the polls, not just in Tuesday’s primary, but in the November general election. Protesters in Chicago over the weekend marched the streets in reaction to Friday’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling sending the issue of abortion back to state governments.

Saturday, at the rally for former President Donald Trump near Quincy, several voters said their issues range from the economy and gas prices, securing Second Amendment rights, border security and election integrity. Amber Oberheim, who’s police officer husband Chris was murdered last year in Champaign, said addressing crime and supporting law enforcement is top on her list.

Tuesday is Illinois’ primary. The general midterm election is Nov. 8.
