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.
Democrats claim, without evidence, that people shouldn’t have to show an ID to vote, because it’s too hard for blacks to get one….
