ILL-inois: Lawsuit alleges massive East St. Louis vote fraud

People who think Illinois corruption is just a Chicago thing need a serious talking to.

From the Belleville News-Democrat:
A federal lawsuit seeks East St. Louis elections to be conducted by county or state officials until an alleged 5,200 unlawfully registered voters are removed from the voting rolls in the city.

The East St. Louis Board of Election Commissioners conducts all elections within the city and is responsible for purging the voter rolls of residents who have died or moved out of the city. Matt Hawkins, an activist who is president of Civic Alliance of East St. Louis, filed the lawsuit against the Commission on Sept. 11 in federal court.

Election Commission Executive Director Kandrise Mosby said the commission follows state law and conducts purges of the voter rolls every two years. The commission is currently purging the voter rolls and expects to finish in about a month, she said.

Mosby declined to comment further because the litigation is ongoing.
As you will read below, ESL, which is heavily Democratic, has a long history of vote fraud.
