Gerrymandering is not a Republican or Democrat problem, it is a problem for our democracy, writes U of I professor Sheldon H. Jacobson.

Recent polls suggest a “too close to call” race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. This has been the case for several weeks, as both candidates work to convince voters in seven key states (Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada) that their votes are needed to secure victory. 

Election Day is now just one week away. The White House remains up for grabs, with seven states — Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada — poised to decide who will win. 

Seemingly every day, new polls report that Donald Trump is either ahead of Kamala Harris by 2 points or behind by 2 points.

Blame the presidential election for extra early Christmas shopping this year.

Election Day is now just 70 days away. The Republican National Convention is over, with Donald Trump and JD Vance at the top of the GOP ticket. The Democratic National Convention is also behind us, with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz winning their party’s nomination after President Biden abruptly dropped out of the race in July.
