Chicago had more votes than voters in 2016 general election

Vote fraud? What vote fraud?

Even if these vote tally discrepancies result from incompetence, doesn't such a finding undermine our democracy?

From Chicago City Wire:

More than 14,000 votes were cast in Chicago during the 2016 general election than there were voters to cast them, based on separate figures released by the Chicago Board of Elections, the chairman of the Chicago Republican Party has reported.

Chris Cleveland told the Chicago Wire that "on a whim," he filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the board, which provided him with a list of 1,101,178 people who voted in the general election. An earlier post on the board's website said that 1,115,664 votes had been cast.

"There should never be more votes than voters," Cleveland said. "Every ballot cast should be recorded against a registered voter."

The party did a breakdown of voting by precinct, and Cleveland said it found an uneven distribution of discrepancies. Fifteen precincts had 100 more ballots cast than voters, while others had fewer votes than voters.
