Something is fishy about this article. The jail is controlled by Cook County, not the City of Chicago. Cook County is controlled by Toni Preckwinkle, not Lightfoot. Toni does not like Lori, and tries to undermine her all the time. Yet the jail inmates are being fraudulently pushed to vote for Lori in the mayoral race? It does not add up.
When the chips are down at the end of the day the loyalty of the Democrat party always trumps all.
I thought you had to be dead to vote in a Chicago election.
I saw this at Oak Forest hospital in the 1990s. The engineer requested ballots for all 700 Residents at the hospital. The residents were Physically and mentally handicapped individuals who lived there. He then filled out and delivered all of the ballots for the Democratic candidate.
I saw this same thing happen too when my mother was in the nursing home. My mother was partially paralyzed but fully aware mentally. The County said she voted but she said she didn’t. Interestingly the County said they even sent helpers to help the invalids vote. Many had Alzheimer’s and you can guess the rest. Illinois…what a place.
Hmm, did they vote Democratic?
I can’t say but I do know every Democrat running won.
