“Low voter turnout, reflecting lack of enthusiasm for the presidential candidates, could hurt candidates in local and state elections, said Chris Mooney, the director of the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Mooney and other political experts were panelists for “2016 Elections: What to Expect and Why,” held Oct. 17 at The Standard Club, 320 S. Plymouth Court.
