Perhaps someone should talk to mr. Phillips, who signed off on the sheet.

To get on the ballot, Krupa was required to file 473 valid signatures of ward residents with the Chicago Board of Elections. Krupa filed 1,703 signatures.

But before he filed his signatures with the elections board, an amazing thing happened along the Chicago Way.
An organized crew of political workers — or maybe just civic-minded individuals who care about reform — went door to door with official legal papers. They asked residents to sign an affadavit revoking their signature on Krupa’s petition.
Revocations are serious legal documents, signed and notarized. Lying on a legal document is a felony and can lead to a charge of perjury. If you’re convicted of perjury, you may not work for a government agency. And I know that there are many in the 13th Ward on the government payroll.
More than 2,700 revocations were turned over to the elections board to cancel the signatures on Krupa’s petitions. Chicago Board of Elections officials had never seen such a massive pile of revocations.
“The board has received a few revocations here and there in very rare electoral board cases over the years,” said election board spokesman Jim Allen.
But more than 2,700? Impossible, no?
“They're pretty rare, and no one can remember anything approaching this volume of filings in past cases,” Allen said. “For the board, the next step is to begin the hearings on all of the objections that have been filed against any candidates' nominating petitions. We can't speculate, though, on the legitimacy or any other legal questions about any of the objections or the corresponding petitions.”
The number of revocations far exceeds the number of signatures Krupa collected. That means false affidavits were filed with the elections board.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Demonrat politics at their finest!
At any cost.
Did you know that John Wayne Gacy, the Chicago serial killer, was a democrat precinct chair?
“We turned in 1,703 signatures. We compared them to the 2,796 revocations, and found only 187 matches, meaning only 187 people who signed David’s petitions filed revocations,” Dorf said. “So, what about the 2,609 people who didn’t sign for David but who filed revocations? That’s fraud. That’s perjury. That’s felony.”

"No reasonable prosecutor..."
This is why - when all my buddies I grew up with who had city and state job and retired in their early 50s - I’ll just chuckle when one day their pension checks don’t cash. Tick tock, the clock is ticking.
If I were a prosecutor, I would file charges against all 2609 asshats who did this, as well as the political group members themselves. But this being Chicago, I would wind up face-down in a rain-filled ditch shortly afterward, I’m sure.
Perhaps someone should talk to mr. Phillips, who signed off on the sheet.
Ah nominating petitions. When I first ran for County Chairman, I challenged the signatures of the guy who was running as an Independent. I won. There is a reason for the petition process and if you aren’t smart enough to do it correctly, you have no business running for an elected position.

Are they that stupid? Didn't they learn anything from Hillary's defeat?
Let's hope they continue on their vengeful course ....b/c we, the deplorables, are taking note.
All of their machinations are a slap in the face to voters.

As FReeper KNARF insightfully posted:
Democrats have not acted as a political arm in a long time.
All we, the people, get subjected to is gauntlet after gauntlet thrown down.
Dems have morphed into an aggressive army challenging a peaceful nation....a nation they despise.
That’s unbelievable, even for Chicago.
Re “That fraud, that’s perjury, that’s a felony”. But in Chicago, it’s also called “fine”.
“Hey “Jake” Krupa. Forget it, it’s Chicagotown”.
Actually, fight this tooth and nail, claw-hammer and tank.
Like the guy in the bar, you might get “lucky” and win or at least expose the normal political way of life in Chiago, aka “corrupt as hell”.
All Illinois petitions for candidacy must be notarized which requires the circulator to state verification of voter qualification and witnessing of the signatures.
The Chicago boundary around Midway airport from Cicero Ave to Harlem Ave was once the entire 23rd ward. To accommodate a politician The 13th ward then took a small part starting from Narragansett along the north side of 65th (city border) and on the south the north side of 63rd to Cicero Ave At Cicero Ave that ward was expanded to to 71st on the south end and 55th on the north and end at Pulaski Road.
This has since changed by redistricting of wards. Yhe 13th ward like its neighboring 23rd which now has parts of the 12th and 14th wards miles from its original area. Chicago had neighborhoods divided to create “Hispanic” residential sections going to Hispanic alderman and congressional (Gutierez) candidates and blacks going to black candidates. That has had the effect of dissolving a contiguous geographic continuity and community identity. Which has played hell because of the disruption of jurisdictions with the adminsitration of city services such as streets and sanitation which the alderman (salary $150.000 plus allocations on local projects) do oversee and have input over..
