Unions can defend vs attempts to force IL to clean up voter rolls, judge says – Cook County Record

Washington, D.C.-based Judicial Watch filed suit in March in Chicago federal court, claiming Illinois state and county election authorities have flouted federal law by all but refusing to properly audit the state's roster of registered voters and then purge from those lists people who have died, moved away or otherwise have become ineligible to vote in Illinois.

Why do unions have standing with respect to members’ voting rights for non-union elections? Can they file tax appeals for members’ homes? Do the members wish to permit this expansion of union representation?

The AFL-CIO and the Illinois Federation of Teachers assert that “many of their members do not have a permanent address or spend long periods of time away from home,” so they don’t read their mail and might get kicked off the voter rolls.

Does any intelligent person believe that?

Sounds like the fix is in. Shame on U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis!
