Early Voting Records Set

CHICAGO (STNG) -- Chicago and suburban Cook County broke their respective single-day Early Voting records Monday, according to the Cook County Board of Elections office. Cook County has a new cumulative Early Voting record and the city is on the verge of breaking the cumulative mark, a release from the clerk's office said.

Chicago had 12,200 ballots cast Monday as of 5:15 p.m. with some voters still casting ballots at various sites. The previous record was 11,971 on the last day of the program, and there is still 10 days to go in early voting, which ends Oct. 30.

In terms of total count, Chicago has more than 76,500 ballots cast in the first eight days, and on Oct. 21, the city will surpass its 18-day cumulative Early Voting record (81,690), the release said.

These are the smart ones.

When I see the "sore losers" disgruntled that their last gasp tactic of protesting and causing long lines on election day, fail due to people educating themselves, I smile real big.

Almost all of the ammunition the Repukelicans are using from Acorn was flagged by their own, in house" quality control people. They still need to process them through to the official regulators, because its not their job to throw ballots out......neither is it yours.
