Illinois lawmakers have changed the state’s election laws to explicitly allow county clerks and other election authorities to verify mail-in ballots using a process a judge had ruled was illegal, as it “would be an obvious way to commit ballot fraud.”
Last week, the Democrat-dominated Illinois General Assembly granted final approval to the legislation known as House Bill 45.
The legislation makes a number of changes to the state Election Code and the state’s Circuit Courts Act to establish so-called judicial subcircuits and resident judgeships in county courts in and around Champaign and Winnebago counties.
However, one of the legislation's most signifcant changes may apply to the way in which state law allows county clerks and election authorities to count mail-in ballots.
The language was inserted through an amendment introduced by State Sen. Don Harmon, D-Oak Park, the Senate President and one of the two most powerful lawmakers in the state.

Instead, the law directs the “election authority” to verify whether the ballot is authentic by comparing the ballot to “the applicant’s signature on file with the office of the election authority.”
In a different paragraph, the legislation changes the Election Code to specify that election judges “shall compare the voter’s signature on the certification envelope of that vote by mail ballot with the voter’s signature on the application” that had been verified by election officials at the time someone applied for a mail-in ballot.
So you can falsely fill out a ballot application, sign the application, then send in the illegal ballot with the same signature as the application? Nope, no fraud potential there...
Hey judge, thanks for the tip.
I wonder if it ever occurs to these people that they ultimately cheat themselves in the long run. But I guess that as long as the corrupt gravy train keeps on running as of now, that is the only thing that matters.
Doesn’t matter anyway, because in something 40-something states, they disregarded the signature anyway.
Dems are not stupid, just evil.
DemocRATs are so stinkin dishonest..... and that’s the only way they can stay in power!
Impossible, democrats don’t cheat elections. The repubs just don’t vote hard enough.
At least that’s what I’m told.
Well if the law enshrined cheating, then that would be how the game is going to be played.
Imagine if Republicans accepted that challenge, “who can cheat the hardest? “
The republic is lost there.
They crossed their Rubicon some time ago.

IL is a corrupt state. Period.
Well, they’re cheating US, that’s for sure…
Bkmk
Isn’t Chicago where election cheating originated?
It is, and has been for quite some time.
A hopeless cause.
Guarandamntee you, that judge did it deliberately too. He told them what to do to keep winning elections.
Get a rope.
1960. In a Bridgeport bar, done by the original Mayor Daley. Guaranteed Illinois for JFK which won him the 1960 Presidential Election.
My grandfather lived across the street and several doors north of old man Daley. IIRC, the bar that election was fixed in is still in existence, owned by the same family too.
Dems must win elections somehow.
