The U.S. Attorney's Office will monitor the general election in Chicago and surrounding suburbs next Tuesday, U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald announced Tuesday.
As part of the monitoring effort, the office will operate a hotline for candidates or the public to call to report any complaints relating to voting. In addition, Assistant U.S. Attorneys will be available to respond to complaints as needed, according to a release Tuesday from Fitzgerald's office.
The hotline number, staffed on Election Day only, is (312) 469-6157.
"This office has a long tradition of monitoring the polls on Election Day." Fitzgerald said. "No one who is entitled to vote should in any way be inhibited from doing so while, at the same time, no one not entitled to vote should corrupt the election."

Yeah I was thinking a stop in Gary In. would be nice too.
I don’t feel like celebrating Fitzmas just yet.
Fitzy wasted a lot of talent (if he has any) trying to take down Rove and Cheney.
You get my vote for post of the day.
