Christine Benson of Ottawa is one of 20 Illinoisans who voted for president and vice president Monday. The electors chosen six weeks ago met in their state capitals to cast their ballots for president and vice president. Those votes will be counted in Congress on January 6th.
Benson is a Democrat and most of the popular votes last month were for the Democratic candidates. So, Benson’s votes were for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
