Bumbling Chicago election officials 'find' 10,000 missing ballots in Democratic primary race for DA - with just 2,000 votes separating the candidates
2024-03-25
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The Chicago Board of Elections has admitted it made an error in tabulating Democratic primary results for Cook County state's attorney

  • An additional 10,000 votes that were initially excluded have been added to the totals - Eileen O'Neill Burke leads Clayton Harris III by 2,015 votes

  • The outcome of the closely contested race in a Democratic stronghold will shape the prosecutorial landscape for the nation's second-largest prosecutor's office

#7  I think part of the game that is being played is that several states have laws in place to prevent precounting any ballots before the polls close. The encouragement for everybody to vote by mail takes the counting activities out of the precincts in puts it into the centralized counting locations. This also builds in an excuse for extending the counting period. The absentee ballots are checked in but not scanned. Once the precinct reports are in, the cheaters can then assign any needed fake ballots to voter files that did not vote. Fake ballots can be assigned to fake voters immediately, but the counting freeze was because the Trump count exceeded Biden voters + fake voters. They needed fake ballots assigned to non-voters to get the job done.

#6  Yes. Imagine if you could still buy a lottery ticket six or seven hours after the drawing.

#5  I fail to see why they can't adopt a certain time standard; on the day of the election you stop the vote count at 11 PM or midnight. That would end all this 3AM surprise dropbox shit.

#4  Burke is standard lefty, clueless but at least willing to prosecute criminals.

Harris is basically a Soros style criminal lover.

#3  Everything about the voting process involves reconciliations where the numbers are checked against each other. You can’t find 10k ballots. These are manufactured ballots. They will undoubtedly be absentees assigned to voters who didn’t vote.

#2  Were they Biden ballots?

#1  Harris is the less odious of the two.
