As a Chicagoan born and raised (no longer live there though) let me say how shocked and amazed I am to hear about voter fraud. Sure I’ve had people working for the DNC posted outside asking who I was voting for and not allow me into polling places when it wasn’t the correct answer and have seen stories every year of the thousands of dead people who vote in every election; but I’ve never thought of elections in Chicago and thought the word ‘corrupt’ in the same sentence. My world has been shaken to its core.
/sarcasm

Just like Chicago deep dish pizza.
It’s not real pizza.

bad analogy since Chicago Deep Dish pizza is superior. Voter fraud and fake pens/pencils are not. ;)

“And now for a lighter moment on this Super Tuesday”
Is that’s how a Chicago anchorwoman should lead a story on voter fraud?

IMO, the way Huck governed makes this more accurate:

Good to see the right isn’t above having the same attitude towards ~~not only~~ the left. ~~but their own as well~~ Thumbs up. Reaps on February 6, 2008 at 8:53 PM

I like how they cut the guy off right when he was probably telling who the people were trying to vote for. Jump Edit FTW!

The targetting of republicans by churlish progressive pollworkers is also the only scenareo which games out with a consistent motive and execution.

In other words, “Hey, Look what I brought. Let’s give this to all of the Republican voters and tell them it’s invisible ink!”

I have worked every election in Chicago as a poll worker since 2002.
The “red stylus” does not resemble anything which comes out of the big blue box the CBOE supplies polling places with. So the idea that it was mere stupidity is not credible. Somebody else noted how dirty that ward is. It’s very dirty. It’s basicly where all of the hippies who camped out in Grant Park in 68 migrated and settled.

The number of ballots disqualified, around 20, seems to me to be about the number of Republican ballots I handed out last primary election I worked.

Someone asked how it could be that the CBOE could have identified the voters who were defrauded by name from the blank ballots. My guess is that they gleaned this information from getting a confession from the pollworkers and then looking up all of the people who marked “Republican” on their Application for Ballot.

The CBOE has no interest in being forthright about the intent and exact circumstances about this, and unfortunately that’s how another manifest incident of vote tampering by progressives will be forgotten as an incident of “benign incompetence”.

I am a person of privilege. I can go back. What if you couldn’t?”

I was wondering if they were pulling a scam on Republican voters. But anyone who uses the phrase “person of privilege” has to be a lib and a Dim. Chicago is feeding on its own.

I’m with Boortz…there just HAS to be some sort of test for voters’ votes to count.

Until we get rid of the NEA, it’ll never happen.
I am with you. We should have some knowledge of what our actual civil rights contain and an understanding on how this country’s freedoms are distributed.

You break the law, you loose it. You do well to the community and you are rewarded.

Sounds simple, don’t you think?

If this is anywhere close to the truth, it proves my theory about the NEA’s plan to dumb down the electorate!

I guess the obvious question is why? Why are they never inclined to see the malicious intent of voter fraud, massive numbers of missing ballots, multiple ballots, dead people voting, people misled — however stupid they may be — about voting procedures, dates, etc.?

Diebold! They obviously made those pens without ink in an attempt to steal the election.

So it is a “joke” now to screw with voters? A lot of seniors would fall for that. Why is the prankster’s “joke” not being taken seriously?
