Well, not just Chicago, but the whole state of Illinois has a different climate than most of the country during the election season. For example, the First Lady, Michelle Obama, was reportedly campaigning for her husband’s party while she stopped by to vote last week. According to the Chicago Board of Elections<\/a>, no one has filed a complaint so they won’t be investigating.<\/p>\n

The Green Party candidate for governor, the one most likely to draw votes away from the Democrat candidate, Pat Quinn, had his name spelled wrong on the ballot. Instead of Rich Whitney, the ballot names him as “Rich Whitey”, a sure turn-off for some voters. The misspelling is blamed on some unnamed employee<\/a> at Dominion Voting Systems.<\/p>\n

Absentee voting in Illinois got harder this year when 35 counties decided they’d ignore the MOVE Act and sent their ballots late. This essentially disenfranchised most of the military voters in Illinois. But, not to worry, Investors Business Daily<\/a> reports that not all absentees will miss out on their voting experience;<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Chicago Board of Elections hand-delivers ballots to inmates in Cook County Jail. The board doesn’t even wait for the inmates to apply \u2014 it brings the applications with the ballots! More than 2,600 inmates have cast ballots \u2014 strikingly similar to the 2,600 soldiers who will likely not receive a ballot for Tuesday’s election.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, Chicago is more concerned about the votes of criminals than they seem to be about the votes of the folks who keep us all safe enough to vote.<\/p>\n
