Lord, I can't go back there
R. Dean Taylor, "Indiana Wants Me," 1970.
My question on this story is this: Will these same people attempt to vote twice in November--once in Illinois, and again in Indiana? Hey, Wisconsin is close, perhaps they can go for a "three-peat?"
From the Times of Northwest Indiana:
Lake County election officials heard allegations Tuesday a number of Illinois residents attempted to vote in last month's Indiana primary election.
Raymond Lopez, chairman of the East Chicago and Whiting Republican organization, told the Lake County elections board, busloads of Illinois residents and downstate Indiana students who weren't registered to vote in East Chicago or Whiting appeared at those communities' polls, according to Republican election workers to whom he spoke.
"It was quite a few. They showed us Illinois driver's licenses. We asked them why they were here and they said 'We were told to vote here.'"
Lopez said none of them was admitted into voting booths. He didn't indicate whether he was able to ascertain from where the individuals came or whom may have sent them. Elections Supervisor Michelle Fajman asked Lopez to put his complaints and others he made, in writing, so her staff can investigate.
'We were told to vote here.'" By whom?
Expect a strongly worded press release from the Barack Obama's campaign about these allegations. (Sarcasm off.)
Obama takes pride in his work as a voting right attorney, but remains silent about accusations of electoral chiancery by Democrats.
As I've commented before, in 2004 Obama was the winner of the 2004 Senate race in Illinois. I voted in that election, reluctantly for Republican Alan Keyes. In East St. Louis, the local Democratic Party paid voters to exercise their franchise on Election Day that year, which violated my right of "free and equal" elections specified in Article III, Section 3 of the Illinois Constitution.
Hat tip to Cal Skinner of the McHenry County Blog for the story.
