Clockwise from the top left, Rep. Kathleen Willis (D-Addison), Rep. Mike Zalewski (D-Riverside), Rep. David Welter (R-Morris), Rep. Denyse Stoneback (D-Skokie), Rep. Mark Luft (R-Pekin), Rep. Sam Yingling (D-Grayslake) and Sen. Eric Mattson (D-Joliet) all appear to have lost their primary races Tuesday.

Primary elections bring out the hardcore voters in each party, and results show the voters have likely ended the legislative careers of five Democrats and two Republicans in favor of challengers who fit more progressive or conservative views, respectively.
