Three months early: Vote by mail for November election begins in Illinois already
All registered Illinois voters are eligible to vote by mail due to a new state law allowing voters to tell their election authority they permanently want to receive mail-in ballots.
Excerpt:
ote-by-mail applications for the Nov. 8 general election opened Wednesday, along with the new ability to permanently request mail-in ballots.
All registered Illinois voters are eligible to vote by mail due to a new state law allowing voters to tell their election authority they permanently want to receive mail-in ballots.
Illinoisans looking to vote by mail can apply online.
Voters can use the Illinois State Board of Elections website and then choose their local election jurisdiction from the menu under “select a jurisdiction.” If the local election authority has an online process, follow the directions there.
Bryce Hill, an economic researcher with the Illinois Policy Institute, said a higher number of voters turnout when there is a mail-in option.
“We actually see an increase of about two percent in voter turnout,” Hill said. “For Illinois, that would mean an extra 215,000 votes on an annual basis.”
Hill said the more voters, the better for Illinois.
“It allows more votes for down-ballot measures that determine things like property taxes, and a whole variety of things where increased voter participation is a good thing and voter awareness and education is a good thing.”
Voters can also request a vote-by-mail application from their local election authority, print it out from the local election authority’s website, then return the application by mail. Applications sent by mail must be received by Nov. 3.
Voters who opt-in to mail in voting can still go to a ballot box if they choose not to vote by mail. The general election will be held on Nov. 8.

A Letter to Patriots
To the American Citizen

****************
Dear Patriots,
Firstly, we would like to thank you all for the overwhelming support and kind remarks in the comments of our series. We truly appreciate your support and we are excited to publish more of our series soon. But first, we’d like to pause and explain a few things that will shed more insight about The 17th Special Operation Group, or 17SOG for short, and why we are presenting our research this way.
We also would like to remind you patriots to do your own research on the information we present. We are not afraid to be challenged in regards to this series. In fact, we truly believe the more you dig on our series, the more you will see the light and truth. The biggest mistake a patriot can make is to be lazy minded while looking through information. This is why we are in the position that we are regarding this great nation. DIG DIG DIG!!!!
Patriots, are we truth seekers? If so, what does that truly mean? Seeking truth sometimes means challenging our current narratives, theories and ideologies that are presented to us. In order to find truth, we need to challenge our own instincts and beliefs. Why? Because by challenging the reality around us, we find the truth. By challenging ourselves and others, we forge ourselves to learn more and grow.
But seeking truth first starts with ourselves. If you’re not willing to open your mind and go against what you think may be true, then truth is and will be impossible to find. How do we do this? We do this by listening to other possibilities. We do this by allowing others to speak their minds and present their ideas and opinions. This allows us to make our own decisions based on as much information possible.
Attacking others for having a different opinion is very shallow minded and extremely dangerous for our movement. The MAGA movement. That’s why we are all here after all. Free speech is the foundation of our country, the foundation of creativity and the key to maintaining our freedoms. To silence others because you don’t agree with them, or they don’t agree with you is the most damaging thing that our movement is currently experiencing. Remember Patriots, we are all Americans first, above political party, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
There are several reasons why we, the four of us, wanted to remain anonymous until the end of our series. The main reason lies in the true meaning of what an anon stands for. One that doesn’t want attention or needs recognition. Ones that seek truth, without retribution for finding it. Anonymous. We here at 17th SOG have many friends that we care about and respect that have very embedded theories. Theories that we once believed as fact as well. That, if we were to go against these theories, we would be banned and attacked. This is the reality that we are in unfortunately.
We would like to point out, that we are not afraid of these attacks. The fact of the matter is, all of the bickering is a huge distraction from what we are doing. So we will continue to remain anonymous until we get all of our facts and thoughts out entirely. That way we can address questions and concerns as they come, without being distracted while we write this series. We also will not monetize this series. Any donations made will go directly towards our chosen veterans charity. Money divides truth when attached to certain narratives. We are open to criticism, and welcome the challenging of our findings.
The 17th SOG Reconstitution series was created by challenging both each other and current narratives within our communities. The four of us initially started as our own research group. We talked about many things, bouncing research and questions off of each other no matter how obscure, without fear of being ridiculed or ostracized. We want to share this with you Patriots. We want to show you all how important freedom of thought and freedom of expression really is.
All of us were willing to have our minds changed. Even though it challenged our own beliefs and ideas.
On July 2nd, one of us mentioned this:
Want to hear my theory? On everything?
Our government has been devolved for decades. Fractures upon fractures, etc. Trump knew this. And had to devolve his government the best. Which he did. That’s why I love President in Exile, AND Devolution. But to think that Trump was the first to devolve, is just crazy. That’s the issue with our government now. So many fractures and devolved entities. That’s why when Jovan was talking about groups cheating without the other groups knowing, kinda just proves the point.
From there, and after a few days of digging from the best researcher we have ever seen, a new piece of information was uncovered, a question was asked, and then fittingly as if a message from those great patriots who came before us, on July 4th Reconstitution was born.
“George Bush activated COG on 9/11 for the first time ever in our country.
It was never rescinded.
What if we’ve been under a constant state of a devolved government ever since, and that is why all of these scumbag Presidents have been able to infiltrate our country and burn it to the ground?
What if Trump didn’t ACTIVATE devolution… what if he took it away?”
Throughout our conversations one member was always drawn back to Game Theory, presenting different games that would explain the moves being made, other times, facts would be presented by each of us about the topics we were each most passionate about, and often met with the challenges a learning curve yields, we would forge on.
That is how we work. One member sparks a thought, and the other three members dig on it, either confirming or challenging the thought without any judgement of each other. Throughout our time together we’ve discussed, challenged each other and in some cases, we’ve argued. But it was through this very process that we have been able to find the truth. This to us is the very definition of, “Together we stand, divided we fall.”
The Best is Yet to Come……
17th Special Operations Group
P.S. We are planning on publishing The 4th Branch: Reconstitution Part 3 later this week. Typically, we like to publish one article on Saturday, one on Sunday, and one on Monday (3 round bursts).
Thanks for reading 17th Special Operation
