The race offers voters a choice between two men with starkly different backgrounds and views.

As CBS 2 Political Investigator Dana Kozlov reported Monday, voters outside the Chicago and the collar counties may prove crucial for Pritzker.

Thus, it made sense for the Democrat Pritzker to conduct his final get-out-the-vote push outside the Chicago area. "Folks, this is it," Pritzker said."We are in the last 24, maybe 36 hours before we win this thing, right? But we're going to have to work for it." Bailey then made a stop in Bourbonnais at an event held at a construction rental company he encouraged his base to vote tomorrow.

Pritzker has funneled at least $110 million to his own re-election campaign, allowing him to dominate the airwaves and internet with ads. Meantime, both Bailey and the People Who Play By the Rules PAC – run by conservative political operative and radio host Dan Proft – have repeatedly hammered Pritzker on crime, taking aim at sweeping criminal justice reform legislation dubbed the SAFE-T Act, which will end cash bail in Illinois next year.
