Chicago election judges: We were ‘coerced into voting’ for Republicans, fired for opposing ‘dirty tricks’


Election judges in Chicago said this week that the Republican Party removed them because they objected to being forced to vote for GOP candidates.

Two former Republican committeemen are telling 2 Investigator Pam Zekman they were removed because they objected to those tactics.

Judges of election are appointed by their respective parties and they look at a judge’s primary voting records as part of the vetting process. But in these cases the former committeemen we talked to said that vetting crossed a line when judges were told who they had to vote for in the Tuesdays’ election.

One says it happened at a temporary campaignheadquarters at 8140 S. Western Ave, which we’ve confirmed it was rented by the Republican Party where election judges reported they were falsely told they had to appear for additional training.
