Park Forest, IL-(ENEWSPF)- With 71% of all precincts reporting, incumbent Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr., has won 81% of the votes in Illinois U.S. House District 2 to G.O.P. challenger Isaac Hayes’ 13% of the vote.

In a race where Hayes was extremely vocal in his campaign’s denunciations of Jackson and Jackson was uncharacteristically silent, Jackson overwhelmingly defeated Hayes.

It appears that the Republican Party has won control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
