SPRINGFIELD -- President Barack Obama will be keeping his job at the White House. We already knew that. But, the Illinois Electoral college voted on Monday to re-elect him and Vice President Joe Biden.

The process was pretty fast, only lasting about a half hour. The vote took place inside the Senate Chamber in the Capitol.

Delegate Debbie Halvorson say it was an honor to be a part of the vote. She worked with President Obama during his time as an Illinois Senator.
