it's big, drafter...huuuge...

The head of the Chicago Republican Party is claiming the city reported thousands more votes cast than voters in the 2016 election -- sparking a battle with Chicago officials who call the allegations overblown.


First reported by the Chicago City Wire, the Chicago GOP filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Chicago Board of Elections in January for a list of voters who had cast ballots in November. According to the party, the board responded with a list of 1,101,178 individuals, though its website reflects 1,115,664 votes cast.

“There should be never be more votes than voters—every ballot cast should be recorded against a registered voter,” Chairman of the Chicago GOP Chris Cleveland told Fox News, explaining that after receiving the data, the party “immediately” contacted the board for “clarification.” “This is either massive fraud or massive incompetence, but we have no way of telling the difference because they won’t give us the data.”

The discrepancy totals more than 14,000, though Cleveland claims it could be as high as 16,000.

Cleveland told Fox News he filed a number of FOIA requests—the original in January, and “several follow ups” for updated numbers.

“They ignored them,” Cleveland said. “They have been stonewalling us for six months.”

Film at 11.... 😟

Could be a local problem...could also be poor record keeping...possible that there may be fraud...officials say it's a matter of counting all the voting registration applications, which takes much longer than the vote counts....guess we'll find out...

But does it really matter...Hillary won Chicago by a HUGE number of votes, right???

...she got more that 80% of the votes, so the difference of 14K-16K more votes cast than registered voters is a trifle considering the more than a million votes there...she got more than 890,000 votes to Trump's 132,000... 16,000 doesn't close the gap.

Looking at this as a priority and ignoring the Russian involvement during the 2016 election is like being concerned about a pimple on your face when you've just contracted syphillis...

How's your new knee, BTW?

Ya, nothing to see here... I'm sure more votes than voters happens all the time.... 🤔





Knee is getting better... Going back to work Monday... Hopefully I can put a shoe on that foot by then... 🤣

👍

how does anyone know who the votes were for?

That really doesn't matter does it..?? Is it only fraud if Trump's camp did it..?? 😕

well, the only conviction was a woman who voted for Trump twice...and members of his family and many of his appointees and staff were registered in several places, so it coulda been all of them in Chicago.

Maybe.. but voter fraud doesn't ever happen anyways.. 😟

pretty soon, you'll have us insisting that there is voter fraud...#-o

non issue.

There it is.. 🤣

I didn't wanna leave you hanging.

Mhmm.
So you want to dictate to cities and states what they can do for their local elections? Thought you were for states rights?

Really...[-(
