“Two things we learned from the 2018 Illinois primary election:
Early voting is here to stay.
Early voting is a steaming mess.
Statewide, the number of voters who cast ballots before election day was more than double the number in the 2014 mid-term primary. In Chicago and Cook County, the increase was even greater.
Illinoisans clearly enjoy the flexibility and convenience of early voting. But systemic failures compromised the integrity of the March 20 election and cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. These were not random one-time glitches. They are problems that will be repeated (and exploited) unless the General Assembly cleans up the law.”
