By Chuck Sudo in News on Jan 31, 2011 10:00PM

Rahm Emanuel now has 23 more days of shaking hands at grocery stores, bowling alleys and "L" stops. Emanuel took advantage of today's early voting opening, as did City Clerk Miguel del Valle.

Emanuel voted at the West Chicago Library in the Austin neighborhood and has set a goal of getting 7,500 people to the polls this week. Del Valle voted in Logan Square and encouraged undecided voters to take their time in making a concrete decision to vote.
