Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Also, you can't be simultaneously upset that the ML classifier gets things wrong and be upset at the thought of training on user data, because the two are mutually exclusive. The only way to get more accurate ML models is to retrain with real-world examples.
