President Barack Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden were re-elected Tuesday night, defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney and his vice-presidential running mate Rep. Paul Ryan.

As you celebrate the Thanksgiving Day holiday this year, consider the following. The next time you do so, the 2012 presidential election campaign will have just ended. Just today Patch learned candidates for Congress will not be filing their petitions between Nov. 28 and Dec. 5. The period will now run from Dec. 23 through Dec. 27 because of the litigation over the proposed map according to a news release from the Illinois State Board of Elections.
