In this Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2016 photo, voters fill out their general election ballots at a polling place in Bradfordton, Ill. The state where both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton used to live may still be reliably Democratic when it comes to picking a president. But drill a little deeper, and it's clear how much things changed even in Illinois on Tuesday, just like they did elsewhere in the U.S. Donald Trump won a dozen more counties than Mitt Romney did in 2012, and he won several counties that went for Obama four years ago, including a county that hasn't backed the GOP presidential candidate in at least a quarter century.(AP Photo/Seth Perlman-File)
The second special election this year is today in Sonoma County. Healdsburg will elect a new city council member, Sonoma Valley Healthcare District voters decide on a parcel tax to fund healthcare, and Santa Rosa votes on a marijuana tax and Measure C: the rent control initiative. Money raised for Measure C in Santa Rosa is setting a new record: over a million dollars has been raised in that campaign. Those against the rent control measure have spent five times as much money as those in favor of it. Polls are open today from 7am to 8pm.
