Illinois voters will choose between presidential candidates and more this election. There are races for the Illinois General Assembly and congress. There are also some ballot measures to be decided.

Our panel discusses the election in the final days of campaigning.

Host Sean Crawford is joined by Professor Emeritus Charlie Wheeler and Patrick Pfingsten, morning host at WMAY radio in Springfield and author of The Illinoize political newsletter.

The former director of the Public Affairs Reporting (PAR) graduate program is Professor Charles N. Wheeler III, a veteran newsman who came to the University of Illinois at Springfield following a 24-year career at the Chicago Sun-Times.
