Something called Illinois Election Research called last night.

I’ve never heard of such a business and neither has Google.

They wanted to know who we were going to vote for.

My wife, who cannot abide such calls, but knows they interest me, handed me the phone.

The recorded caller read off

• Kirk Dillard
• Dan Proft
• a third name
• Andy McKenna
• More names

I pressed one for McKenna and did whatever else was requested.

Anyone have any idea who paid for the survey?

Was it a voter identification call?

Or what?
