Some Dirty Tricks Are Being Played In Illinois With Sample Ballots Sent To Voters.....

Please check out this link to a post from last night that called attention to a sample ballot mailed to voters in the 13th Ward of Chicago that didn't include Bernie's name or his delegates on it - only Hillary and her delegates.

As you scroll down the thread - you will see the actual sample ballot in question and comments from people reflecting on how these sample ballots are used by people on voting day. This will help you understand the sinister nature of this.

There is ample time between now and the voting in Illinois to get the word out and stop these dirty tricks now and not wait until after the voting is completed.

Please take the time to review this and comment on it. This needs to become an issue because it is another ploy to slow or stop the Bernie revolution.

This issue needs to get to the voters of Illinois and Chicago - but other states should take heed and watch for similar dirty tricks before voting occurs in your states.

concerned about the Hispanic vote and are playing games to tamp it down. Again - watch for similar games being played all over the country during Super Tuesday and make sure you nip it in the bud before the voting begins.

This sample ballot was made around February 12, 2016 as the Tarrant County Democrats were updating wiki information. This example ballot copy appeared in my Texas Group reply #4, in my OP:
