The comments come as the U.S. Department of Justice sues Illinois for access to the state’s voter database and presses states nationwide to strengthen voter roll maintenance.

Pritzker says he doesn’t know details of deadly January shooting by Illinois State Police
Gov. JB Pritzker said this week he has not seen video of an Illinois State Police trooper fatally shooting a woman in January — although he called the woman a “victim.” By contrast, the governor has said he watched video of a federal immigration officer fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis in January “frame by frame.”

Judge tosses burglary case against fugitive who scaled down Streeterville high-rise to escape US Marshals
A fugitive wanted in two states for burglary and larceny scaled the balcony from his 39th-floor Streeterville apartment and fled through the 38th-floor unit below to escape a federal fugitive task force, officials say. But a Cook County judge this week threw out the burglary charge prosecutors filed against him for entering his downstairs neighbor’s apartment, ruling there was no probable cause to support it.
