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.
“Data shows a total of more than 2.2 million mail-ballots were requested across the state for November’s election. More than 657,000 were returned with around 626,300 counted. That’s a difference of about 30,700. ”
Is this correct? There was only a 29% mail in ballot return rate? This doesn’t at all seem to jive with the information I saw reported. I thought the return rate was much higher.
But if this is correct, then there is a great opportunity to for Republicans to ballot harvest millions of votes more than Democrats.
