The IL Elections official says she broke the law.
You ought to read the law and what it says about people helping others vote. I skimmed through it when somebody posted a link to the law on one of the threads earlier and I didn't get the impression that the law as written would stand in the way of somebody getting help to vote.
The law wouldn't say "any other person" if it didn't mean "any other person". If the simple language of a law is still wide open to the discretionary whim of some official, then we aren't operating under the rule of law. We're then operating under the rule of men.
I don't see this as something they ought to pursue legal action against Michelle Obama over, but I DO think the White House and Michelle should admit that she violated the law by mistake. The Executive Branch of our country shouldn't be sending the message that what the laws say is irrelevant.
Give me a break. You simply do not see people being arrested and hauled away for punishment for talking at the polling place.
She was there as a voter, not a person in the class of individuals RESTRICTED by the law.
I doubt any Illinois State Board of Elections Official would say what he is purported to have said had he known the woman was at the location she was directed to go to to vote.
No, wouldn't happen.
I said bring me the court decisions, not the uninformed opinions of lay people.
