| Good morning! Mostly cloudy north and central, but sunny to the south. Highs range from the upper 40s to lower 60s across the state.

Many people stay away from the polls because they run out of time, or have a work conflict -- in which case lacking paid time off to vote might be a factor. But did you know that 23 states require employers to offer some form of paid leave to vote. Others, including Illinois, Kentucky or Wisconsin, allow for unpaid leave. | Forecast |
