As Election Day nears, officials across Illinois boost security amid fear of violence – Chicago Tribune*

The panic buttons and new security locks were precautionary in case one, several or even a mob of people barged into Boone County Clerk Julie Bliss’ offices in Belvidere where ballots are counted on Election Day. But the “overall anger and tenseness” of the national political environment means the security safeguards are there to stay, said Bliss, a Republican who has been clerk since 2017 and is an official with the Illinois Association of County Clerks and Recorders.

This article is such leftist garbage. If there is a red wave reaching Illinois and Republicans win many statewide, statehouse and congressional offices, anyone with a brain knows that the Democrat’s private army of Antifa/BLM brown shirts will riot like its 2020 and 2019 all over again.

Any sane person in Illinois is worried about violence. Why should election day be any different?
