IL Dems change law to allow vote-by-mail ballots to be counted in a way judge had said ‘would be obvious way to commit fraud’ – Cook County Record

Previously, under the law, Illinois lawmakers had required vote counters to ensure mail-in ballots were genuinely cast by eligible registered voters by comparing the signatures on the returned ballots against the voter registration card, signed by the actual voter, and kept on file by the local election authority. However, under the changes, county clerks and election officials will now be allowed, or perhaps even directed to compare signatures on mail-in ballots to the signature that had appeared on the application to request a mail-in ballot.

“An obvious way to commit fraud.” Right . That’s the point of vote by mail. the Democrats are just cleaning up loose ends. Nothing will change until we Republicans out cheat them.

You can always count on Illinois Democrats to be on the wrong side of every issue.

Purge the voter rolls on non-existent voters first. My son who rents an apartment in an older building received 7 mail in ballots prior to the 2020 election. All were for previous renters in the building.

This is a feature of our system, not a bug. I’m surprised a political operative didn’t show up at the door demanding those ballots. That’s likely one reason why there were several hundred thousand fewer ballots counted for JB in 2022 vs. 2018.

Vote fraud is a holy sacrament of the Democrat Party — just like a dead unborn baby

The Democratic Party and unions are criminal organizations that have officially turned Illinois into a 3rd world banana republic.

So, theoretically, I could sign and send for mail in ballots for my parents who are in nursing homes or dementia wards and officials would compare my signature on the mail in ballot request and not to my parent’s signature on their voter registration. It’s not unheard of for nursing home employees sending in mail in ballots of patients. Sounds like a lot of potential for fraud.

Democrats cheat. That’s why they pass laws making it easier to cheat. It’s not complicated. These are not smart people here playing 4D chess. They want to make it easier for the DuPage County Clerk to count ballots in a way that make it easier for Democrats to win. Democrats aren’t even trying to give the aura of election integrity. They just want to cheat. End of story.

Exactly, it was done all the time at the old Oak Forest hospital. The engineer was a precinct worker for Rep. Maggie Crotty.

A change is needed in the script of when a new law is passed or one changed to read,
“Be it enacted by the Communist Democrat Party of the State of Illinois represented in the General Assembly”

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.
