A federal judge has put limits on election-day voter registration in the most populous parts of Illinois. The governor's office has a rosier view of the Illinois deficit then legislative analysts. And Donald Trump once again shines a light on violence and policing in Chicago.

Sean Crawford hosts with regular panelists Amanda Vinicky and Brian Mackey, and guests Doug Finke of The State Journal-Register, and Kent Redfield, a retired political scientist at the University of Illinois Springfield.
