A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
This is the only way they can win. For a Blue State they have implemented quite a few unethical strategies – Vote by Mail and Gerrymandering. Is the State of Illinois really that Blue? You wouldn’t think so by their desperation to cheat and manipulate the vote.
It’s blue but the ballot harvesting and gerrymandering give it a domination it would not otherwise be able to achieve if the state’s votes were split proportionally. We’d have a much more red legislature because all the blue votes are sunk really, in Cook, Lake and some of DuPage Counties, leaving dozens of competitive red seats throughout the state. But the map is gerrymandered to do the opposite – sink Republicans into a fewer number of R +40 districts, and the need to draw some really crazy looking districts to do that.
