They (GOP) got 57 so far and control.

 

The shocking part is that I, YES I voted for a Republican (Kinzinger) and the IL 11th went back to Republican turf... It was briefly held by Dem. Halvorson for 2 years with the "Obama Push" in 2008... My district is staunch Republican and is better handled by Republicans, hence my vote (among other reasons).

 

There is a lot of close races, really close... Shocking when you look at the maps by county and how everything is divide by city-rural battle lines... We are quite a fractured nation politically. In my area voter turnout seemed low, except for the old !@#$s.

 

Oh... Forgot to mention, quite a barn-burner for Gov. in IL... Only 10k votes separate the two.

 

Again... Amazing how fractured things are between city and country areas if you look at the results.
