DuPage: "Worst Place To Vote In America" So Stay Alert, Document & Report Problems
yes, how nice.

here's a snip:
"But despite the changes, Jean Kaczmarek, co-chair of the DuPage Chapter of the Illinois Ballot Integrity Project, still has concerns.

She said DuPage is about to be declared "the worst place to vote in America" by Black Box Voting, a consumer protection organization that monitors electronic voting and election officials around the country.

"Given all the horror stories they've reported, it is no small thing to be considered the worst," Kaczmarek said."

so pay attention--stay sharp on tuesday--if you find any problems call 1-866-our-vote!

(apparently bbv declared dupage one of the top two worst counties--the other being riverside, CA--i'd link this but i'm allergic to bbv)

1. True Enough, Ma'am
The Republican crooks of DuPage make the Chicago Machine look like a bunch of good government goo-goos by compare: vote theft out there is raw, and on a grand scale.

2. I love this quote from Mr. Saar:
"Saar said the "entire process" will be run out of the new warehouse, and that the facility will address voters' concerns about security and chain of custody.

"What I mean by (chain of custody) is while we have staff here that have very high levels of technical expertise, most of the work that is done - especially the critical work that's done on the testing of the voting equipment and making sure that the diagnostic equipment is running - will be done by both Republican and Democrat individuals under the guidance of our staff members," he said." empasis mine...

Notice that Mr. Saar refers to "Democrat" individuals...

I hope that Tammy Duckworth has her "legal eagles" all lined up. Sounds like she's going to need them...

:mad: :mad:

3. the Duckworth plan is to have a team of lawyers
And flood the voting places at closing so we can get the #s. Im not sure of other details because Im more connected to the GOTV efforts and missed all the poll watching meetings.

4. my daughter was over there tonight, working on checks and
making folders if someone didn't have a folder, getting stacks of literature for hand delivery ready, (at least from what i gathered from our quick conversation when she got home).

she is a little disappointed to think she won't be going to the party tuesday--she's an election judge so it's gonna be a long day (plus she has to set up monday night). she did the primary too and was exhausted when it was over.

but who knows? maybe she'll be up to taking a ride out there after the polls close and everything is tallied--or whatever she has to do.
