Boomers are still the highest turnout percentage today

I was wondering if the ChiCom Virus would keep boomers at home.

It’s Crook County! People don’t have to be alive or show up to have their votes counted.

What I want to know is--did the Poles go to the polls?

I think Chicago has more Poles than any city in the world except Warsaw.

Much more to the story than you know...

I have friends there and the whole vote was a major cluster

Many election Judges never showed up at the polling places and people had to be instructed to go elsewhere

Some places did not have the equipment or forms to allow people to vote. People who had served in the past in the role at polling places were called in as emergency replacements, and this puts the biggest impact on the elderly

Many many lawsuits have been filed due to the voters not being able to do so and it is akin to voter suppression, this is huge and many are calling for a revote...It is that big!

I was warned by my doctors to not go outside. I’m not happy that I wasn’t able to get out to vote.

Not so much anymore. The area which was all Polish is now all Hispanic. My grandmother was Polish, her parents were off-the-boat. Dad’s side is German with the same generation having migrated to the US.

The Poles are basically gone. We had a banquet hall, where my grandparents celebrated anniversaries and that did catering for all of our family gatherings, and it was bought out by Hispanics, just like everything else in the area. They kept trying to make the food for awhile, but we got broken glass in our mashed potatoes, and the sausage was awful. The beef was dry, as was the broasted chicken (not easy to do). We brought it back, an hour each way, and demanded a refund, which we never got. I left scathing reviews in both English and Spanish. I got reamed for being a white girl.

The Poles are not gone, we moved to the suburbs and married other Europeans. What banquet hall are you talking about? White Eagle across from st. Albert cemetery is still in place. Of ciurse, since they have to close for the virus apocalypse, no decent polish person will be dieing soon. Where would the family to for lunch after the funeral?

I assume the Poles did not disappear but just moved out to the suburbs. Back in the mid-1980s I was riding public transportation in Chicago (I didn’t live there, just had gone there for an event) and saw a lady nearby reading a Polish-language newspaper. I assume it was published locally.
