Las elecciones al Senado de los Estados Unidos de 2010 en Illinois se llevaron a cabo el 2 de noviembre de 2010. Hubo dos elementos de votación para el mismo escaño: una elección general, para ocupar el escaño de la Clase 3 a partir del 112º Congreso de los Estados Unidos a partir del 3 de enero de 2011, y una elección especial, para ocupar ese escaño durante las últimas semanas del 111º Congreso . El demócrata Roland Burris fue designado para cubrir la vacante creada por la elección de Barack Obama a la presidencia, pero no buscó un mandato completo. [1]

Las elecciones se llevaron a cabo junto con otras 33 elecciones al Senado de los Estados Unidos en otros estados, así como las elecciones a la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos y varias elecciones estatales y locales en Illinois y otros estados. Las primarias del partido registradas para el período completo se llevaron a cabo el 2 de febrero de 2010, las primeras elecciones primarias estatales: los republicanos nominaron al representante estadounidense Mark Kirk , los demócratas nominaron al tesorero estatal Alexi Giannoulias y el periodista nominado por el Partido Verde LeAlan Jones . El Partido de la Constitución y el Partido Libertario presentaron firmas para estar en la boleta electoral, pero fueron impugnadas; El resultado de las audiencias subsiguientes fue que se negó al candidato del Partido de la Constitución la colocación en la boleta, pero se le dio acceso a la boleta al candidato del Partido Libertario, Michael Labno. [2]
El 2 de agosto, el Tribunal de Distrito de los Estados Unidos para el Distrito Norte de Illinois dictaminó que los candidatos que aparecerían en la boleta para la elección de reemplazo serían los de la elección regular, [1] [3] y que la elección especial aparecería después la elección general en la boleta. [3] El senador titular Roland Burris no aparecería en ninguno de los puntos de la boleta. [3] Kirk ganó con el 48% de los votos en comparación con el 46,4% de Giannoulias, o un margen de victoria del 1,6%, lo que hace que esta elección y la concurrente en Colorado sean las carreras más cercanas del ciclo de elecciones del Senado de 2010. A partir de 2021, esta es la última vez que los republicanos ganaron las elecciones al Senado de los Estados Unidos en Illinois.
Información electoral
Las primarias y las elecciones generales, tanto de la elección especial como de la elección programada regularmente, coincidieron con las de la Cámara y las de los cargos estatales .

Vacante
Barack Obama , el ex senador de los Estados Unidos que ocupaba este puesto, fue elegido presidente de los Estados Unidos el 4 de noviembre de 2008 y posteriormente renunció al Senado el 16 de noviembre de 2008. [4] La ley de Illinois dispone que el gobernador de Illinois designe reemplazos para vacantes en el Senado . [5]
El nombramiento de Burris
El 9 de diciembre de 2008, el FBI arrestó al gobernador Rod Blagojevich (D) por varios cargos de corrupción, en particular las acusaciones de que intentó vender el nombramiento al escaño vacante del Senado de los Estados Unidos. No obstante, el 31 de diciembre de 2008, Blagojevich nombró al ex fiscal general de Illinois Roland Burris para ocupar la vacante. [6] Después de buscar inicialmente excluir a Burris, los demócratas del Senado cedieron, [7] y Burris tomó asiento el 15 de enero de 2009. [8]
Posteriormente, Burris se negó a presentarse a la reelección. [9]

Campaign
A self-described "fiscal conservative and social moderate," Republican nominee Mark Kirk based his campaign on reform and compared the race to Republican Scott Brown's election to the Senate in February 2010.[32] In addition, Kirk immediately criticized his Democratic opponent for his management of Bright Start, an Illinois 529 college savings program and his work at Broadway Bank.[33] Immediately after the primary, the National Republican Senatorial Committee aired a web ad comparing Giannoulias to the fictional character Tony Soprano.[34] Politifact ranked Kirk's references to the mob as "Half True".[35] Republican U.S. Senator Scott Brown campaigned for Kirk in Illinois.[36] Kimberly Vertolli, Kirk's ex-wife, signed on as an advisor to Mark Kirk's campaign, but didn't support his more conservative platform.[37]
On February 4, 2010, Democrat Alexi Giannoulias revealed his campaign strategy, saying "come November, Congressman, your days as a Washington insider are over."[38] On July 19, 2010, Giannoulias announced that he had raised $900,000 in the quarter that ended June 30, compared to $2.3 million raised by Kirk. The Giannoulias campaign also announced that President Obama was scheduled to attend an August 5 fundraiser for his candidate in Chicago.[39]
Kirk and Giannoulias disagreed mostly on fiscal and foreign policy. Kirk voted against Obama's Stimulus package and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. As a Congressman, Kirk originally voted for Cap and trade but during the primary campaign announced that if elected a Senator he would vote against it.[40] Giannoulias strongly supported the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act[41] and Obama's stimulus.[42] Kirk opposed the building of the Park 51 Islamic center near Ground Zero of New York City, while Giannoulias stated that "Americans must stand up for freedom of religion even when it's difficult."[43]
Libertarian nominee Micahel Labno was added to the ballot by the Illinois State Board of Elections after gaining ballot access by means of citizen petition.[31] Labno, an electrical project construction manager[44] and recruiter for Private Security Union Local 21[45] ran on a platform of downsizing or cutting some Federal agencies and reducing taxes and government regulations. He also supported allowing citizens to opt out of Social Security.[44] Labno is pro-life and supports 2nd Amendment rights. In August 2010, Democratic candidate Alexi Giannoulias declared Labno a legitimate challenge from the right for Mark Kirk. Labno responded on his Facebook fan page, saying "This is very true Alexi, and you should be afraid too."[46] Labno attended the September 18, 2010 Right Nation rally in Hoffman Estates, Illinois headlined by conservative media figure Glenn Beck. While greeting attendees Labno noted that Republican candidate Kirk did not attend.[47] On August 27 the Illinois Board of Elections approved the Libertarian Party's petition to include its candidates on the ballot.[31]
