You are NOT getting the people you are voting for as state representative and senator!

Sen. Trotter's name is on the ballot even though he has resigned from the office

For those who live in the 34th district (for state represenative) and 17th district for state senate: Did you know that the people you might be voting for  state represneative and state senator will NOT be the people who will take office for the term you are electing them for?

State Senator Donne Trotter resigned on January 19, 2018. This was essentially just in time to meet the deadline for people who wanted to register as a write-in candidate.

He will NOT be in office again. 34th district State Representative. Elgie Sims was chosen by Democratic Committeemen (NOT the vote of the people) to replace Trotter. Sims was in turn replaced by the same committee (and NOT the average voter)  by Nick Smith as State Representative.

The Chicago Tribune wrote an editorial about this voter omission in January.

What do our readers feel about this? Are you bothered by it? Do you feel it is a form of voter suppression? Support it? Please let us know

6th ward elections invalid! Decide who will be the next alderman!

Due to substantial fraud, write-ins (Syron Smith led a substantial campaign) and mechanical error, the results fo this past Alermanic election on Feb. 22 are invalid.

And due to budget cuts, the the Mayor and Chicago Board of Elections will be using alternate means to decide who will be alderman of the 6th Ward, rather than the April 5 election, in order to be fair for all 6 candidates.

As this is the most viable internet forum for the 6th ward, it has been decided comments on this blog will be the method to determine who will be the new 6th Ward Alderman.

This emergency action needs to have a decision by 11:59 pm, or the results here will also be invalid, and our ward will be in a dire emergency.

Thank you for your participation.
