What excuse was used in Chicago for turning the voters away?

wilcousa, those reports are pretty tame compared to what happens routinely in the rural south and intermountain west. I still remember driving a Democratic voter to the polls in a rural area. As we walked in, one of the poll watchers said: "Here comes that damn Democrat". True Story.

<Also reports of a precinct where the democrat candidates have been highlighted in yellow. (an appropriate choice of color given the Chinese communist connection in the last election)> ****************** It's for their constituency that can't read. Remember they voted to remove the literacy testing. JFH

first reports in on local news that voters have been turned away from the polls in heavy republican area of Chicago. They were told to come back later. What does a democratic committee man pay per vote in Chicago? When growing up in Philadelphia they used to pay $5.00. What with inflation now I suppose it's more but in Calif. they were paying off in cigarettes. I never sold my vote or traded it. It's too sacred for me.
