I find it strange that inmates are allowed to vote while incarcerated. I know they can't in my state. Something has to change. The corruption in politics is the only thing that has become more transparent with this administration.
The inmates did not even request the ballots, the government just walked them in there, complete with voter registration forms. It was clearly the government canvassing voters, or at least that is what it seems to be to me.
I will await delusianne's deluded answer to this post.

It's only felons who can't vote. In fact I just read that today somewhere, only Britain and the US don't allow felons to ever vote again.

The post isn't a question. Since we don't know what the procedures are for sorting the mail in the counties and how the ballots get into the hands of the CBOE (?!) to hand-carry to the prisoners, we can't really discuss it can we.
Maybe there's an article with more detail on it somewhere.
Chicago is a national embarrassment. I'm ashamed to call Crook County home.
Gee, let's shaft our men and women in uniform serving our country overseas but ensure that all those incarcerated get their ability to vote.

The Chicago Board of Elections hand delivers ballots to the jail. They don’t even wait for the inmates to apply – they bring the applications with the ballots! Over 2,600 inmates have cast ballots so far – strikingly similiar to the 2,600 soldiers who will likely not recieve a ballot for the Nov 2 election.
They had 7 months in Illinois, since the primaries, to mail out hose military ballots, there is simply no freaking excuse
This is a banner year for democrats or the governments of democrat controlled states, who are either already committing fraud or are violating election laws and disenfranchising voters.

I thought felons weren't allowed to vote? Or is this a state by state thing?
