“Part of me was thinking it does sound stupid enough to be true,’’ said Amy Carlton, who had serious doubts but went ahead and voted anyway.
Bet she was a Democrat.
;)
These morons had to be Democrats, since the article did not identify which primary they were voting in.
A poll tax on idiots.
If I was that stupid to have allowed myself to be talked into it then I would be way to embarrassed to admit it when they came knocking to tell me I could re-vote. I wonder how many of the twenty will admit to being talked into it now that it is front page news.
“Twenty voters at a Far North Side precinct who found their ink pens not working were told by election judges not to worry.”
I think a fair punishment for those so called election judges is to shovel those twenty voters driveways, wash their cars, and clean their houses. They wasted the voters time, so they owe some of their own time to the voters. Idiots.
This wasn't the fault of the voters:
They were also then told, apparently by a misinformed judge, that the pens have invisible ink
another voter who was told the same invisible ink story, spent a good part of the day calling and e-mailing the Board of Elections to get answers.
“Just leave that space blank, the machines automatically fill them in for you! See? We take care of EVERYTHING!”................
I live on the northwest side and all votes are cast on a touch screen using a inkless pen. I don’t ever remember writing on a ballot.
Prior to the touch screen it was the old chads...
Is Sharpton screaming? Ergo....
This is the kind of crap people need to spend a few years in JAIL for!
The mind boggles.
Perhaps they were voting for shadow candidates or the dead people in Chicago cemeteries.
What kind of ballot uses a pen?
“Don’t worry about it Honey! I can’t get you pregnant! Really!”
As Brendan Fraser in “Return of the Mummy” would say
“Democrats!!!”
It's invisible ink, officials said. The scanner will count it.Did you know the word "gullible" is not actually in the dictionary? Really!
Think that’s funny? There were some nitwits here in Orange County, FloriDUH who saw people voting in “Orange County” California yesterday, and called the Supervisor of Elections to say that they wanted to go vote too, but needed to know where they were supposed to go.
They were told, “sorry - you’re a week late - the FloriDUH primary was on January 29.”
I have a feeling the whole invisible ink pens snafu will be quickly hushed up...it doesn’t serve the mainstream media’s agenda. Same with Chelsea’s early morning electioneering and a dozen of other small incidents that will go unnoticed until the “right” one comes along at which time the media and self-appointed speakers will blow it out of proportion and make false claims of evidence and patterns of disenfranchisement.
Why didn’t they use pencils?
