The Illinois Voter Suppression Strategy – Opinion – Wall Street Journal

image"If Mr. Pritzker wants to lead his party on protecting democracy, he can prove his care for voters’ interests by ending a practice that rigs the calendar instead of the maps. Having all Illinois elections in November during federal-election years would raise turnout, broaden representation and cost the left nothing in Chicago—where Democrats win 80% of municipal races."

Great article about Illinois hatred of Democracy and the completely rigged election system. “February elections in odd-numbered years are a gift to unions”. Spot on. And a gift to incumbents. “Illinois holds local elections in February during off-cycle years, which keeps turnout low and helps insiders cling to power.”

Illinois has more in common with North Korea than with America.
