* Chicago Mag | Illinois Is the Most Progressive State: During the mayoral campaign, the most dedicated Johnson volunteer I met was Jonathan Nagy, a 33-year-old queer artist who moved to Chicago from his hometown in Ohio in 2016. Small-town Ohio is not a great place to be queer, or an artist.

Bishop also wrote that “gay couples were congregating in particular cities — specific zip codes, in fact.”

These officials would then use it to register anyone who is eligible to vote and but not already signed up to do so.
