Elgin singer Annie Young, a woman of faith whose voice evoked comparisons to blues diva Koko Taylor and gospel great Mahalia Jackson, died Jan. 9 of COVID-19.

It definitely would’ve destroyed a lot of the ability to continue on afterwards if (the votes) had been left in the chamber, because they have to physically look through the boxes and count.
