Chicago:
Hearing scheduled on absentee ballots
April 23, 2003
By Michael Puente / Post-Tribune staff writer
EAST CHICAGO — Attorneys for six candidates in the East Chicago Democratic primary will be in court Friday morning seeking an injunction to impound more than 1,600 absentee ballots.
Lake Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Dywan, seated in Crown Point, will hear the motion seeking a preliminary injunction made by the defendants.
The plaintiffs are led by mayoral candidate George Pabey, who is also an at-large city councilman, City Councilman Richard Medina, D-at-large, and City Council candidates Adolfo Velez, Samuel Perez and Robert Garcia.
Named as defendants are East Chicago Mayor Robert A. Pastrick, city park superintendent Jose Valdez, Andrew Callas, Alex Sarkisian, along with four Lake County Election Board members, including Anna Anton, who is also county clerk.
The lawsuit, filed Monday, asks for a review of the absentee ballot process and the election procedure in East Chicago.
The lawsuit lists several allegations relating to potential voter fraud such as requiring city employees to submit absentee ballots.
The lawsuit also alleges that supporters of Pastrick’s “machine” pays money to the homeless and drug addicted to cast false votes; as well as collecting votes from non-residents, non-citizens, the dead and nursing home residents.
The plaintiffs are seeking to have every absentee ballot checked for legitimacy.
A potential huge roadblock for the plaintiffs in proving the allegations, however, is that many individuals who are aware of the process are afraid to speak out for fear of losing their city job, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit lists examples of what the plaintiffs see as voter fraud.
The lawsuit cites a Hector G. Sanchez who applied for an absentee ballot application with an address at 3919 Fir St. in Eat Chicago but who no longer lives there.
An elderly woman, who lives at 3909 Fir St., who is listed as having applied for an absentee ballot, said she is not a U.S. citizens and therefore she does not vote.
Another person, a Jordan Triplett, is listed of having applied for an absentee ballot with an address of 4022 Deodar St., but he does not live there.
Another absentee ballot is also going to a Cassandra Bell at 3829 Catalpa, although she does not live there.
The plaintiff also allege that 29 absentee ballots are going to small cities in Texas along the Rio Grande.
Up to nine people are listed as having applied for absentee ballots but who do not live at the address of 4030 Pulaski St.
Although none wanted to give their name, some supporters of Pastrick say some of the fraudulent absentee ballots may be for Pabey and fellow mayor candidate Lonnie Randolph.
“All those absentee ballots are not for (Pastrick),” said one Pastrick campaign supporter.
