How screwed up is our political system? Well, besides only having 2 parties to choose from, I’m now officially registered to vote in 2 states. Two.
I’m registered in my hometown of Illinois—Chitown, to be exact. Been voting there since I was 18.
That’s my voter registration card for the year in chi. We get the little flimsy paper cards. Personally, I think you ought to get a real plastic card or something laminated that gets updated/bar-coded and swiped every couple years. But that’s just me.
On the flipside I’m also registered to vote in SoCal where I’m a new resident. Here’s my ballot stub receipt from Feb.’s primary that I was allowed to voted in. (I think y’all know who I threw in for already.)
Now how did I get registered in 2 separate states? I have no idea. But I am. When I moved to Cali, I filed all my moving papers, forwarded mail, etc. with the city and state. They actually forwarded my voter card to my Cali address. Swear.
Now I still got fam and people in Chi and visit, etc. but…
What can I say?! It’s Chicago. Dead people vote. (A lot.) Minors vote. Babies vote. The criminally insane vote. The mentally ill and incompetent vote. Prisoners vote. Felons vote. Imaginary friends vote. Everybody votes... Whether they know it or not.
Lemme clarify how this works: Through forgery, fraudulent voter roles and other assorted political hustles run by both the DNC and RNC and agents thereof, Chicagoans who shouldn’t vote, can’t vote, don’t know they’re voting actually vote in every election. The hustle’s so common that Chicago has long been home of the infamous phrase, “Vote Early, Vote Often.”
So my guess is even though I’m not in Chi anymore, I’ll probably end up voting on the north side, the south side and the west side and maybe one or two suburbs whether I like it or not.
Then again, at least Arnold Schwarzenegger’s not on the ballot in Chi. I swear it’s taken me 14 months to figure out that this clown has no clue what he’s doing.
He’s closing schools. He’s cutting back on social programs and public works projects… all in the name of balancing a budget that’s still not balanced.
It’s unreal what this goof is doing out here.
So lemme see, here: In this corner, an Aging ‘roided up washed up celeb, or Mayor Daley and his Irish Mob crew?
Hmmm… I’ll get back to you on this one.
