SPRINGFIELD - The Illinois Secretary of State’s office will host Illinois’ 19 electors who will cast their votes for U.S. President and Vice President Tuesday as part of our nation’s Electoral College process. Federal law mandates that every state cast its electoral votes on the same day and send its votes to the President of the U.S. Senate (Vice President Kamala Harris) to be counted on Jan. 6 during a joint session of Congress. “As we gather to observe our electors casting their votes, we witness the power of the people’s voice in action,” said Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, whose office oversees the certification process in Illinois. “This ceremony serves as a reminder of the sanctity of the democratic process.

GILLESPIE - A familiar face has taken over a Litchfield game and hobby business designed to provide a fun, welcoming atmosphere for people of all ages.
