they are the very same system being used in this precinct here in dupage county, the acu vote system of the ballot necessary some of those districts, some of those counties, jurisdictions, excuse me, are having problems with that. that means those ballots may need to be hand-counted. on top of that, we hear this from the state republican party chairman in regards to turnout. have a listen: >> there's a bit of a spike in republican early absentee voting but probably we'll get 31, 32 percent. it won't be like when obama was on the bap ot but a decent turnout for a primary. >> 30 percent would be much higher than they typically get in statewide primary necessary illinois so therefore, you combine a higher than average turnout plus with difficulties counting, two and two may equal a late night for some of us who are watching this. jenna: we'll be watching it right along with you, steve. thank you. jon: well, let's go to washington now, where house republicans are unveiling an updated budget. this resolution, another attempt to slash federal spending, cut taxes, and restore america's fina

obviously cook counties, and i would also suggest dupage county which we will be looking at our key. what do you -- how do you break it down? >> mitt romney is very strong in the cities and suburbs losing rural counties. it's very much like a democratic does in the general election, cities and suburbs losing the rural counties. this has been consistent across the last seven states or so. >> it is almost predictable. i mean i -- you know, we were kind of hoping there would be some sizzle tonight some upset. >> what's unpredictable is that this competition and the nastiness of it, has hurt the republican party. both hillary clinton and barack obama were stronger at the end of this. romney's much weaker. >> s i heard that he was in cook county, in the chicago area, the media market, he was outspending santorum 28 to one? >> exactly. we know romney can buy elections. he's not going to have that advantage against barack obama. >> right right i think that's right. >> when you look at that disparity, a 2-1 win looks impressive and well, he's still going to have that spending advantage going
