EAST CHICAGO (AP) Residents in East Chicago have an extra hour to vote in today's Democratic mayoral primary. Judge Steven King ordered that all polling places remain open until 8 p-m.
King also ordered that voting continue in Precinct 14 until 9:30 tonight because an inspector assigned to the precinct didn't show up this morning, causing the poll to open late. King indicated in his order that he extended voting hours to prevent the possibility of voters being disenfranchised.
The primary is being rerun after the state Supreme Court threw out last year's results because of widespread corruption. Mayor Robert Pastrick is seeking to finish his ninth term in office. He is being challenged by George Pabey (pa-BAY).

Toodles, schmuck.
Nope, that would be St. Louis. So they could cheat Ashcroft out if the US Senate.
What the democrats were trying to do is steal the state for Gore.
In Missouri, the state legislators are the ones who set the time in which the polls are open. In 2000, a St. Louis judge violated the states constitution by allowing the polls in St. Louis City to stay open thus violating the civil rights of all other Missourians. The Republicans moved quick to find a higher judge to overruled the lower judge. I don't think the rats will be trying that again here.
At night, Gary and East Chicago look like Mordor from The Lord of the Rings.
Look Kerry has IL in the bag, Obama is running unopposed. Why would they need to commit fraud ?
What you say Keyes is running against Obama ? Yup and Nader is running against Bush. And frankly Naders got a better shot at winning.
