Attention Illinois Voters - Bernie Supporters

[Ferd Berfel]

IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT YOUR MARCH 15 VOTE

THERE IS A "MISTAKE" ON THE BALLOT IN MANY ILLINOIS DISTRICTS

In some districts there are TOO MANY Bernie Sanders Delegates listed on the ballot. If you vote for more delegates than are allowed by your particular ballot – YOUR VOTE FOR ALL DELEGATES WILL NOT COUNT !

Examples:
#1 - The Fremont Ballot in Lake County shows 6 delegates for Bernie Sanders. You are only ALLOWED to vote for 5 on THIS ballot. If you vote for all 6, this section of your ballot IS NOT COUNTED. None of it!

#2 - The Greenwood Ballot in McHenry County shows 5 delegates for Bernie Sanders. You are ONLY allowed to vote for 4 on THIS ballot. If you vote for all 5, this section of your ballot IS NOT COUNTED. None of it!

Explanation:
One of two things occurred for this to happen--either someone not on the endorsed slate of Sanders delegates collected and submitted a petition that went unchallenged (could be an over enthusiastic Bernie supporter or as folks are assuming, a plant) or, the Sanders campaign accidentally submitted the extra candidate. Do not rule out either possibility.…. Nothing can now be done about this now. Everyone now has a big voter education project.

This "Mistake" MAY OCCUR in other Counties
READ YOUR BALLOT INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

Only Vote for the Maximum number of Delegates allowed

1. What's that smell?? Oh no. It's a GIANT establishment DNC

[Nanjeanne]

2. Is there also an issue with Clinton "mistakes" or only Sanders?

[Ferd Berfel]

3. only Sanders has too many

on the ballots I can see. Clinton has J... U... S... T... the right amount on both ballots

[Nanjeanne]

7. Well ain't that just a nice coincidence! Sanders should

Make sure they have poll workers there in case of problems. The forms should really be reprinted. This is nuts.

10. Ballots were probably printed a while ago.

There are still 2 O'Malley delegates on the ballot - and ahead of the Bernie choices.

For President Omalley is stil on the ballot along with 3 more people know one I know, ever heard of - and Bernie is at the bottom

4. City of Chicago (Cook County) has 9 Sanders delegates

And it says Vote for not more than Nine.

So you're okay in the most populous county in the state.

People always have to read the ballots carefully. For instance, there are 6 candidates for 6-year terms for Water Reclamation District Commissioner. It says Vote for no more than Three.

If you spoil your ballot by exceeding the number of permissible votes, the scan readers will reject it and they'll give you a new ballot. So it's not a huge issue.

6. THanks good to hear

[OilemFirchen]

5. "... or as folks are assuming, a plant"

[Le Taz Hot]

9. WHAT. THE. FUCK???

So, did this "mistake" also happen on the Hillary side? I'm guessing "no."

[Ferd Berfel]

11. Not on the 2 ballots I've seen.

Chicago just reported being OK though, that's a relief.

12. Who told you this? You need to provide a link to proof of your allegations.

There is nothing on my ballot re: vote only for 5 of 6. There is NOTHING on the Lake county clerk's page about this 'error'.

13. The OP is unable to respond, because of the hide, but I've asked them to post

(when their penalty time runs out) the scans of the problem ballots.
