13. A Question...or two
Here in Illinois, when you register to vote, you receive a voters registration card that states all your vitae along with the various districts you belong to...all the way to School Board Dog Catcher. This card is issued by the board of elections. I've heard of several cases where a person would go into vote, there was no record in the polling place, but the person had the registration card and identification. After a quick call downtown, the registars were told to accept the card. Is there a similar situation elsewhere?

Yes, this type of fraud is not new...it's probably been done in Chicago many times over...and I can't see how this could happen on a mass scale in a major city where the Democrats control the Board Of Elections or other major positions. An abnormale change in addresses should be picked up. The case worker in this incident mentioned that she knew of several of these incidents going on...isn't there some king of investigation or public outcry?

I encourage those fear being "Diebold'd" or other problems on election day...as well as ALL college students going back to school...to vote absentee.
