“Then it falls on the people of Illinois to make sure they are informed and take necessary action to eliminate the corruption with their vote”
How would you do that, if the local officials are the ones who would have to OK an investigation into vote fraud?
I don’t see Cook County officials giving the OK to the feds to investigate such things. You would have no recourse, no where to turn when vote fraud does pop up. Not that you have much recourse now, because the dems are in power, but the dems see themselves losing power, and they also see conservatives gaining power, which means eventually investigations into local elections and the like will happen. They are insulating themselves from such probabilities.
Anything the dems are doing right now in the senate, is an attempt to game the rules for when conservatives do get in power.
Don’t kid yourself.
