Illinois State Board of Elections member Harold Byers speaks to fellow board members during a meeting to certify the November ballot, including decisions on whether challenged Green and Libertarian candidates can be on the ticket Friday, Aug. 22, 2014, in Springfield, Ill. Proponents of term limits for Illinois lawmakers are hoping a referendum question on that issue will be included on the ballot, but it will require the state Supreme Court to take up the issue at the last minute and reverse two lower court decisions.

Illinois Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner speaks with reporters during a term limits news conference Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2014, in Springfield, Ill. The clock is ticking for the possibility of Illinois voters getting to vote on term limits this year. An appeals court is due to rule on the measure's validity, and the issue is then expected to go to the state Supreme Court for a final decision before the ballot is certified next week.

The 2014 Illinois State Fair butter cow is unveiled at the Illinois State Fairgrounds Thursday, Aug. 7, 2014, in Springfield, Ill. The sculpture depicts a cow being milked by a boy who is waving to a woman. The 500-pound bovine is made of unsalted butter. Built from scratch, it has been an unofficial mascot of the fair since the 1920s. Fair organizers have said they're not changing security procedures after vandals threw paint on a butter cow at the Iowa state fair last year. The Illinois State Fair begins Friday, Aug. 8 and runs through Sunday, Aug. 17. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman)
