Jeffrey Goldberg<a href="https://mas.to/@trabern" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@trabern</a>, I was disappointed that I didn't have to queue for early voting. I voted around 4pm at <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/UIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UIC</a>, which is the early voting place for my <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Chicago" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chicago</a> ward. There were people coming in to vote, but there were at most 3 booths occupied at any one time. Perhaps the queues were in the morning.Ok, so just looked things up. Though I had difficulty finding out how many registered voters there are. I did find <a href="https://www.elections.il.gov/VotingSystems.aspx?MID=RDsPmNG6UtQ%3d" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.elections.il.gov/VotingSystems.aspx?MID=RDsPmNG6UtQ%3d</a>which tells me the “Active Voter Count” for Cook county is 1662101. That seems low to me, but that is what I found.And the “pre-election ballot requests” for Cook county reported today say By-mail Returned: 22674 Early: 8637If (and that is a big if) I am interpreting those numbers correctly, that means that less then 1% of Cook county voters voted on the first day of early voting. And 1.4% of registered voters have already voted by mail.It is slowly dawning on me that early voting is not so much a thing in Illinois. I have also read that Illinois aggressively purges “inactive” voters, which I guess makes some sense in light of its history in the machine days.
