An earlier blog gave excellent information on the voting process, from registering to voting, here in Illinois. After this, the important question is for whom will we vote? Although we know the two main candidates, Trump and Clinton, is there anyone else? And how about what they represent?
For starters, go to this website to get the details on the ballot for Illinois: https://ballotpedia.org/Presidential_election_in_Illinois,_2016#State_profile

It is important that voters know what their candidates represent. So do your homework and be a voter who did some research ahead of time.
