That's been going on in Chicago for years, so it's no surprise that more has been revealed.

The last fairly elected politician in Chicago was Jane Byrne.

Third degree Byrne - the only Chicago Mayor to actually cause the Fire Department to go on strike!

It was't known as voter fraud back home in those days. We called it "machine politics" and it was supposed to be just fine!

This is how far America has sunk: alleged kleptocracies are more honest than urban areas.

As someone that is aware of the process, it starts with the county party chairman....it is his or her job to vet the judges.....in our county dems are always trying to be one of the repub judges.

I'm sure there are certain areas of Chicago where there are no republican registered voters.

Chicago is a cesspool of political corruptness . Obviously people there like it that way . They never vote the bums out .
