Illinois | Republicans being stripped off the voter rolls in Chicago?

Blogger Blackfive was denied his vote on North McClurg Court in Chicago, and he’s not happy about it, nor are any of the others.

The two books containing voter registration and voter signatures were considerably smaller than before. In the past, the voter books were about five inches thick, and now they were about 1/4 of their usual size.

. The guy next to me was screaming about “Fraud!”. There were four ladies who were crying. Another guy was yelling about his rights. The election judges were freaking out.

As I left on my way to the County Election Commission to file a complaint, I asked ten different people who were also denied a vote because they weren’t in the book, “Are you Republicans?”

All ten replied, “Yes.”

After three and a half hours of feuding with officials, Blackfive was finally allowed to vote by provisional ballot. Welcome to Illinois.
