The old joke is that in Chicago people stay politically active long after they’ve passed away — or at least they keep voting.
The old joke is that in Chicago people stay politically active long after they’ve passed away — or at least they keep voting. But federal prosecutors aren’t laughing. U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald announced Monday that government attorneys will be monitoring next week’s primary voting in Chicago. The FBI and federal marshals will deal with legal violations. Fitzgerald says his office has a long tradition of monitoring the polls on Election Day to protect the integrity of the voting process. He says legitimate voters shouldn’t be inhibited from casting their ballots and people not entitled to vote shouldn’t be allowed to corrupt the process. Fitzgerald announced an Election Day only vote fraud hot line: 312-469-6157. Copyright 2010 The Associated Press.
