I guess that I just grew up a little too close to Chicago to really believe much of anything I’m told, especially by somebody in the media...or even remotely connected to the government.

John Fund sez everything is good?

Okay, but just in case John Fund’s all-seeing eye don’t get this far out into the sticks, I think I’m going to go on with turning over rocks until I satisfy myself that one of your ward bosses didn’t go and screw with my ballot last fall.

And if one of ‘em did....

I grew up in the Chi-town burbs and watched it all unfold for many years, so we agree they're not above fraud by any stretch.

However, with everyone watching nationwide, they used the "legitmate" Chicago strategy: Ward boss politics, with a little cash thrown in. It works nicely with extended voting.
