Candidates on both presidential tickets are in battleground states on Saturday while voters continue to cast their ballots.
Chicago voters were determined to cast their ballots this weekend, no matter how long it took.
"So, we decided to go back to Lincoln Park this morning, and the line was also three-and-a-half hours long before the booth even opened," said early voter Zack Cylinder. Cylinder and his wife eventually headed to the Loop supersite, where the wait for early voters was about 20 minutes. "We just need our life back. We need our rights back. My youngest is a part of the LGBTQ community. It's just too much. You can't live in fear every day. I would stand here for days on end if I had to," said early voter Courtney Ward.Whether it be a feeling of anxiety over the outcome of the presidential election or a particular issue, plenty of people were determined to have their voices heard.
"We are going to have individuals that ensure we invest in our public school system," said 26th Ward Alderperson Jessie Fuentes. "It doesn't matter the color of your skin or the zip code you reside in; you deserve a world class education."There are long lines at some early voting sites, but believe it or not, the busiest day is expected to be Monday.
