This is a big deal. @govpritzker.illinois.gov's Republican predecessor put the state's finances in the crapper. Pritzker has invested heavily in the state's people and infrastructure AND restored its fiscal stability. No small feat.

Minneapolis must find hundreds of Republican judges before early voting for the midterms opens in October, a task the city has said it's not equipped for. The ruling could disproportionately affect voters who cast ballots early, a popular method in the state with one of the highest voter turnouts.
