Asked why Illinois hasn’t postponed its primary like some other states have, an elections board spokesman said board officials last week contacted state and city leaders to consult about different scenarios. “We are moving ahead full speed March 17 with this election,” he said, adding that postponing would be a “horrible idea” that would risk disenfranchising voters.
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.
