Chicago has a long tradition of padding its vote totals by placing homeless and deceased persons on its voter registration list. Jim Laski, who once served as the City Clerk of Chicago, second in power only to the mayor, noted in his book My Fall From Grace that fraudulent voters were registered to addresses that included cemeteries, municipal buildings, and taverns. The taverns, at least, are understandable: politically connected city workers spent so much time on bar stools the Board of Elections thought they lived there.

Other voters who had died or moved away were also on the voter registration list. Once again, the tendency for the dead to vote in Chicago can be easily explained: the dead cannot be expected to walk to City Hall and remove themselves from the registered voter list. Everyone in Chicago knows they can only walk as far as the local polling place. This tradition was verified in 1983 when the registered voter list was examined and it was found that 3,000 had either died or moved away.

Since 1985 Chicago has pioneered new ways to promote illegal immigration. After 1990 the illegal immigrant population in Chicago and the nation skyrocketed. As illegal immigrants flocked to Chicago, a method was needed to get them on the registered voter list. Although 80,000 illegal aliens voted in 1982, the old-fashioned way, through vote fraud; by 2005 both Cook County and the state of Illinois had moved to allow photo I.D. to be given to illegal immigrants by passing matricula consular laws.

My biggest gripe with the GOP and especially those charged with protecting the integrity of the vote is the inattention to obvious examples of fraud.

People wiothout scruples are favored in a close election as they are willing to cross the integrity line, pad the vote in order to get their way.

Should voter fraud be overlooked just because the examples are from inner city polling places? If voter fraud is not dealt with then the alternative, voter ID, should be an obvious choice. They can't have it both ways.

Our current chief law enforcement officer, the Attorney General Eric Holder, equated Voter ID laws with Poll Taxes, an outrageous political claim for an AG during an election season.

LOL. When I saw the title I thought the article was about Scytl, a company in Spain run by citizens of the world with ties to Soros. Scytl has taken over the counting of votes for over 500 districts in the US and the DoD.
