News from Chicago: "Early voting could reach 85,000 ballots"

"Nearly 60,000 Chicagoans have already cast early ballots in hotly contested city races, election officials said today.
By the time early voting ends today, the number could reach 85,000 ballots, nearly triple the early voting total from 2007 when Mayor Richard Daley cruised to victory."
