well, republican lite strikes in rogers park-
this clown had poll watchers up the wazoo, we listened to the challenges, and made decisions based on the evidence before us. he had his chance. he is full of shit if he thinks that every one of his challenges were legit. his game plan all along was to challenge and intimidate voters. i hope he is the one to end up in the shit.

1. Is there a list of his challenges somewhere?
Does he have connections with the RNC?

2. i have the folder his pollwatcher left behind
in my home precinct. no one was challenged there. i am hoping these lists will come out in court, so they can be checked.
he got $60,000 from david herro, one of the funders of the swift boaters.
this guy gives to everyone, but the big chunks are to thugs.
he had a lot of backing from the restaurant industry, because of the foi gras ban. (which, in chicago, also means the mob.)
and he repeatedly said he was bringing the chamber of commerce to the ward.
he likes to talk about how much it meant to him to work on bobby kennedy's presidential campaign. no mention of any other campaigns he worked on the intervening 39 years.
guess i have some digging to do. saw your post in er, about the moonies. i can easily accept that.

6. Which precincts?
Is he only challenging the precincts which are highly minority (or highly NON-minority) or just the ones where he lost?

Or is there a correlation?

7. he is challenging 22 of 42
asking that they be thrown out, leaving him, of course, the winner. one of the local bloggers had a side by side graphic of the predominantly white nieghborhoods on one map, and the precints that this clown wanted counted on the other, and damned if they were not pretty close to the same. i was going to post a link to the graphic, but his blog seems a little hosed up.

here's the link, anyway, in case he comes back up.
things that make you go hmmmm.....

5. That's an absurd argument
Because there may be a handful of fraudulent votes in a precinct, none of the votes from that precinct should count? Thuggery, at its worst.
