In having an election, why can’t the state and the city be friends?

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

State likes coming to the polls: damn the Ruhan plague, full-speed ahead. City says mail it in, without said polls.

— Says Block Club Chicago and in nice follow-up, Sun-Times. (Apparently follow-up, per sequence of arrival of my and probably thousands of other desks and devices.) —

In said exchange, city vs. state, the latter looks  stupid.
