In today's Chicago Tribune, there is an obituary that says "In lieu of flowers, please don't vote for Hillary". Now that is a real final request !

What is the name? I should be in the Tribune's online obits.
Obituaries - Chicago Tribune

I'm not old enough to read through the obits in the local paper.

It wouldn't surprise me though if some dead voters did vote for Hillary.

The name is Jachec, Julia A.
It's on page31, section 1 Nation & World.

And you're right about the dead voting in IL. it's a common practice !

Wait. This is a topic about Hillary. But you just complained about this in a Trump topic.
