President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama voted absentee for tomorrow’s elections in Illinois.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs confirmed the First Family voted, but did not tip his hand as to their preferences for the Democratic primaries for governor and senate.

The election will choose candidates from both parties who are vying to win what was Obama’s Senate seat. This is the first election for the governorship since Rod Blagojevich was impeached for attempting to earn political favors to appoint someone to the Obama seat.
