Tonight I was standing in a private room of a restaurant for a party when a middle-aged Asian woman in a kimono entered the room and approached me. She was holding a stack of leaflets and shoved one in front of me.

“I’d like to talk to you about who to vote for on Tuesday,” she said.

“Actually, I voted last week,” I said.

Disappointed, she continued. “OK, well, who did you vote for?”

“Doesn’t matter,” I said. “But who did you want me to vote for?”

“Trump!” she said, quite pleased.

“There’s no way,” I replied.

She folded her arms and in an animated fashion, as if she’d prepared for this, said, “Really? Give me one reason why not.”

“I have thousands,” I said.

And at this, she turned away and walked out of the room, disappearing back into the restaurant.

Because other people around me saw me talking to this woman, I can confirm that she was not in fact an apparition or my imagination run amok. But it does make me wonder: was she the extent of the Trump campaign’s ground game in Illinois?
