I'm from Illinois, so nothing strikes me as unusual about this. In a close election, the Democrats hold back a few precincts, stuff in enough votes to make the difference, and count them at the very end to make sure you have the right outcome. Golly jeepers, this is Election Stealing 101.

Yeah, it appears to be a classic ballot stuff operation.

You are both on target. This is the exact tactic used by LBJ in stealing his Senatorial election -- infamous Ballot Box 13.

Like that instance, a ethnic minority, remote community, had the population manipulated, the data falsified and the iron fist of machine politics keeping the minority on the plantation utilized to hold stuffed ballots back to the last minute.

Sure, in our more sophisticated age, the niceities and forms will be followed more closely. But this is the Daschle Machine's tactic -- not traceable, not spelled out, but understood and executed.
