Democratic Hijinks - and I didn't even have to go looking for it!

I just voted (Ward 35, Precinct 12), and I found electioneering going on inside the polling place. At a table which all of the voters for my precinct walked by, but which was not very visible from where the election judges were sitting, a guy with a list of registered voters was sitting with Democratic palm cards in plain sight. They weren't just generic Democratic palm cards either; they were Berrios-specific palm cards which listed all of the Democratic candidates but which had Obama and the Berrioses in bold.

For reference: Joe Berrios is the Chair of the Cook County Democratic Party, and he is also on the Cook County Board of Review, running for reelection for that office. His daughter, Toni, is the 39th State Representative. Jeremy is running against Toni.

I don't really blame the guy sitting there, because I don't think he had any idea what was going on, he was just doing what someone told him to do.

The impunity of the way in which these people operate never ceases to amaze me.
