Cook County Elections
- A law clerk who faces charges of impersonating a judge has been elected as a judge in the Chicago area even though she’s been barred from taking the office.
Rhonda Crawford had been expected to win Tuesday’s election over a write-in opponent, as she was the only name listed on the ballot. The 45-year-old can’t be sworn in to the $180,000-a-year job unless she’s cleared of wrongdoing.
Even under investigation, she wins a spot (as she was running unopposed anyway.) Great system we got here in Cook County.

What happened with all the Protestors at Trump Tower?
I hope you arrested a lot of them.
Democrats will vote for anyone. That's why I want to move.
Paper ballot. Voted no on every single judge. I know its asking a lot from a new President but we need a really strong US Attorney here to finally get rid of Madigan and the whole group , up to and including his useless daughter.
Maybe she will play dress up as a judge again and rule on her own case.
I've already said that I hope Trump launches an investigation into this crooked city and county. Enough is enough.
The only way she gets the judgeship is if they release her law license. So now it's up to the ARDC.
Hey it's the Chicago way!
Only in Crook County.
Don't worry trump will fix Illinois and Chicago......oh wait there is no saving this corrupt/shitty place.
The bigger problem is the judge who told her to do it.
She should also be charged with a felony and disbarred.
Mhmmmmm. She was a play judge. WTF. We got play mommas, play sisters, play cousins why can't we get us some play judges? You'all a bunch of raciss haters.
Democrats vote with blinders on.
The system of appointing (by madigan) people to the judge ballets in elections has been going on so long that I wonder if there ever was a process that you could actually get petitions signed to run against some of the appointees? They are always democrats and rubber stamped in! Guess no one really gives a shit or there would have been republican or Green Party or whatever opponents. That's democracy in action.
Your money at work for you...
It just ain't right. :)
I have been confused ever since the election. Am I still a deplorable or despicable or whatever? My candidate won, even if my vote didn't count in crook county!
Lawyers are scum-sucking bottom feeders. Judges are lawyers too, but many (exceptions noted) are too lazy or stupid to earn a living chasing ambulances so they depend on relatives or the politicians they are screwing to get slated to run unopposed. Makes you proud of our judiciary and the pols that slate them, don't it?
Boy leave it to a Democrat to f up a single candidate race!
Rudy Giuliani would make a fine Attorney General. He prosecuted corruption in the big stink hole New York in the 70s and got over 100 bad cops, judges and asshole lawyers.
Maybe Rahm, Madigan and Cullerton should put the sign back.
Hey, what are you talking about Rahm sez that they just took the sign down just for cleaning! HA,HA,HA
(Rant incoming) - who in the hell allowed that protest to go on and on last night (I was hearing the chopper in my sleep). Swan Lake? Special Ed? Fuck the people that need to go to WORK the next day, and the tourists in the nearby hotels. Fuck this town.

I guess her qualifications run as deep as Obama's did for the presidency. After all, she imitated a judge, so she must be able to do the job. Obama imitated a constitutional scholar. Look how well that turned out.
Well, I see this entire incident as a shame and a waste. This women, who I do not know sure is a success story. Coming from a poor background became a nurse and then an attorney, just to blow it all with one stupid act.
Democrats know no other way - they were born into that system of corruption and think it's normal.
When you step outside of Illinois you realize what normal actually is. It may not be perfect but anywhere is better than the stinking, lying thieves of Illinois politicians.
How stupid can you be! And she still stands up there on t.v. I would be ashamed of myself. These people have no shame in the game.
Crooked Chicago falls to the level of a Baltimore. Never thought it would be possible.
One in four+ voted Democrat statewide. Not much can be done as we are in a free fall.
Rahm either is going back to Wall Street or will stay and try to squirt out one last term.
PrickledWrinkles is making good grift as Crook Co Bd. president for now.
Rauner will not be re-elected.
Crooked judges who were once crooked attorneys. Always a Chicago tradition.
Just vote Democrat and disregard what you know about what the candidate.
When Chicago comes tumbling down, financially, socially and literally...they'll blame Trump.
Hmmmm, how many others impersonate Judges down there every day?
I know I have seen some.
Next case.
I'll bet $1,000.00 she is cleared of any wrong doing, and will be sitting on the bench in no time. It's Chicago. If she were to be charged with any misdeed she will say their picking on her cause she's BLACK.
Don't worry. The community organizer/most inept potus ever, will intervene and get her license back.
Why wasn't their more arrests of these urban terrorists? Was it Rahm or Eddie?
Grew up in Calumet City.
Being in jail doesn't preclude U from office.
Just sayin.
Why place her on the ballot to begin with???!!!...
crook county now a fox releasing chickens from the pen
Only in Chicago!
She is in an area where morals do not count. The suburban and south side of Chiraq support the gangsters who run for office.
I grew up in Roseland.
It should
Ghetto politics
We need Judge Roy Bean the law west of the Pecos.♠️

Who let it go on?
Our very own version of Baltimore, right here.
"Give them room to destroy."
So how does one go about getting on the ballot anyway? If the judges run unopposed....$180k a year with no knowledge of the law apparently necessary, hell, I'd be ok with it. Plus, judges get the best graft.
You can't make this up. What a laughing stock. The rest of the country has figured things out, but we are stuck in this alternative universe.
It's time to rid this cesspool of democrats. There is a Chicago GOP, but unless we start to go to meetings and get involved, nothing will change. We now have a crook elected, several more crooks in office, and the same old same old in Chicago and Cook County. Thank God that Trump won, or this country would have been finished off by that corrupt communist Hillary.
