Ill. lawmakers want voters out of schools
SPRINGFIELD – This might be the last election where voters in Illinois go to a school to cast a vote.
A handful of Illinois lawmakers and Illinois police leaders want to stop using schools as polling places, saying it is just not safe anymore.
“I just know in my heart of hearts, that if we continue to allow this, some day we are going to have a version of Sandy Hook,” said Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka referring to the shooting at the school in Connecticut.
