Mar 22, 2006 8:08 am US/Central

(AP) CHICAGO The NAACP has opened two voter assistance centers in Chicago to provide displaced Hurricane Katrina victims with information on the New Orleans city election.

The Chicago centers will help Katrina victims by providing voter registration and absentee ballot information for the April 22 election.

The last day to cast an absentee ballot is today if displaced New Orleans residents were registered as of Sept. 25.

After today, voters will only be able to vote in New Orleans.

The West Side Chicago office is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the South Side office is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

I'm sure quite a few of the people killed by Katrina will be voting there.

I am a displaced Illinois native. Can I vote for the Chicago mayoral election as well?

This almost sounds like a parody.

You gotta love DemocRATS. They'll do anything to make sure voter fraud is made easy.

Where the hell was the NAA(L)CP when it came to evacuating people from N'awlins? Seems to me if they have the time and the resources to set up voter registrations out of state (in order to keep N'awlins a "chocolate city"), then they sure as bloody hell could have provided some drivers for those flooded buses.

LOL.

It'll be great when, after all these attempts to rig the election, their favored candidate, Ray "Chocolate City" Nagin, still loses.

I can't wait to see their reactions.

Votes are votes - right? How about while military ballots were being thrown in the trash during Algore's defeat? The left is in a constant downward spiral...

What becomes interesting here...is 2010. If the census folks do the job they are assigned to do...then the city will barely number 250,000....down from the 484,000. The question will be if these groups attempt to bus in 100,000 during the summer...to meet the census workers and try to claim 400,000 people there? The state could very well lose one electoral vote if a true census was taken. It'll be curious how many court cases will take effect in 2010....and how the supreme court treats this entier issue. The cenus wasn't exactly a precise science to start with...and this mess only broadens it more.
