The [Tuesday] Papers
As of this writing, around 10:30 a.m., voting does not appear to be going well. Now the blame game begins - as it should! - and Governor Pritzker could lose much of the capital he's built with his coronavirus performance.
BREAKING: For the first time, @ChicagoElection spokesperson Jim Allen says his agency urged @GovPritzker to prohibit voting in person and go to a fully vote-by-mail election. That recommendation was rejected.

Adding responses, 12:19 p.m.:
This is a lie. And frankly, given what we are dealing with in this moment, I'm disgusted that Jim Allen would lie like this. We offered them the national guard, young volunteers and assistance with keeping polling places clean. Statement coming in a few minutes from our office. https://t.co/2oqLvJ8mlw

Now, they expect taxpayers to bail them out to the tune of $50 billion. It's the same old story.
