Thank you Eric Holder, you have shown just how much you think of upholding the law.

Briebart is reporting one of the GOP poll watchers was actually physically removed/assaulted.

What a disgrace.

But you know whats going to happen if Romney wins tonight right? We will get all sorts of stories from the MSM tomorrow about how minorities votes were suppressed, but we will get a total media blackout of stuff like this...

I read that supposedly some former Navy Seals were on their way to make sure the New Black Panthers didn't intimidate anyone.

Agreed.

FWIW, **** Morris was on Fox last night. He says when the totals show that 10 million fewer minorities turned out in 2012 than 2008, the media will blame voter suppression efforts by Republicans. Get ready for libs to demand a UN investigation into our 'unfair' voting laws.

And some more.

Here is something that is quite illegal. No polling within 100ft.

Of course it is in Chicago.

I really wish IL could kick Chicago and the surrounding counties that follow it like sheep from the state and let them be their own state.

That is sort of like Maryland. There are 16 counties in the state, but only those chosen in Baltimore, Montgomery, Anne Arundel, Prince Georges, and Howard counties ever get elected to state positions or the US Senate.

Why does Chicago and Cook county need a new state, they have IL.
The Chicago politics infected the state capitol decades ( coming up on a century ) ago.

Out of the 12M in the state, ~ 2.7 M live in Chicago, 5M in Cook county.

If we took the entire metro area into a different state as you suggest, that is ~ 9M people, so the majority of the electoral votes would go with them.
There are only ~ 3m people in the remainder of the state, which would get the minimum for electoral votes.

Does not change a lot to do this.

I'm glad people now know I am not crazy when I talk about how things are done here. They have 4 years of 1st hand proof.
