CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Once 7 p.m. Tuesday rolls around in Illinois, the polls will close and Election Night coverage will be listen and watch, on radio and TV.
Eddie Varela, 24, will be watching even if there’s a chance we might not know at the end of the night who won the presidential race.
"Last election, I didn’t care as much. I kind of like, kind of gave it a whatever, but this year, it definitely matters a lot more to me so I wanted to make sure I’m paying attention," he said.
Khyre Mitchell doesn’t normally watch Election Night coverage, but he said this election is different.
"I’ll be watching tonight, as well. I think it’s important that we pay attention to the stuff that’s going on nowadays ‘cause everything that’s been going on is crazy," he said.
Ashley Turner would like to check out Election Night coverage, but she said it’s a toss up whether she will.
"That’s completely dependent upon my 6-month-old child," she said with a laugh.
