“Our office simply used a mailing list that they provided to us and sent letters to everyone that was on that list by September 15,” said Henry Haupt, a spokesman for White. “Under the law we’re required to send one more letter October 15 using the list of names provided to us at that time by the Illinois State Board of Elections."
Mailing pieces are going to people with out-of-state addresses.

I find this totally amazing that they can send this out at a time when everyone is supposedly working from home. Apparently they can hire a firm to do the mailings without even a thought as to the cost.
Apparently when Springfield looks at the money that already is owed to vendors and pensions they somehow think that this number is a surplus to play with!

He’ll “try to clean up” the wording?
Seriously?
It is like everything the DEMS do –so the entire state of Illinois–they want to mess everything up.
What people need to do is vote in person.
If Pritzker can protest shoulder to shoulder and Lightfoot has allowed looting in Chicago— and Pritzker refused to push off the Primary–you can vote in person–wear a mask.
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.
Early in-person voting in Illinois begins today, September 24, 2020.
