A couple of posts everyone might want to read.
First up, The Contrarian shines a small light on some of the potential voter fraud that the Chicago Machine is infamous for, still going on to this very day:
According to the Chicago Board of Elections’ database, as of early August there were 2,115,542 registered voters in Chicago. Of those, 1,570,753 were in active status.
Two addresses share the title of having the greatest number of active voters. The first is 2700 S. California; that’s right, Cook County Jail. The second is in the 3700 block of South Indiana. Each has 1,019 registered active voters.
All told, there are 18 properties in Chicago with 100 or more active voters. Seventy-four properties have 50 or more active voters and 757 addresses have 10 or more individuals “living” there representing 19,823 active voters.
How can this be?
If you want the answer, check out the Contrarian link up top. They get into the nitty-gritty of it all in their usual thorough manner. They don't say it outright, but you can bet tens-of-thousands of votes are generated each and every election here.
Second, check out the latest John Kass article, amplifying the warnings we were giving almost two decades ago:
No wonder that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson continues to suffer those crippling panic attacks of his.
Chicago is falling apart. He’s completely out of his depth. He was unequipped for the job and his campaign was all about slogans, Marxist rhetoric from his allies in the Chicago Teachers Union, and race. Now those who can are in a rush to leave. He’s falling apart. His administration is falling apart. And the city is falling apart rapidly.
Forget the fake news “joy” of the Democratic National Convention that oozed out to promote Kamala Harris. She won’t help the city. And forget the corporate media cheerleaders who’ve tried to paper-over the city’s infected wounds to promote Democrat power. I spent 40 years covering the city’s politics.
Throughout all those years, the joke in Chicago was that any time things looked bad, at least we weren’t Detroit. But now that’s an insult to Detroit which is on the ascent. And the people of both cities know it. The city’s self-inflicted wounds are septic now.
Again, go read it all. Detroit still has along way to go to return, but Chicago hasn't even hit rock bottom yet. By the time we get there, Detroit just might be a vacation destination of some sort.

Both Detroit and New Orleans opened Casinos in the past twenty five years. The promised returns on these casinos never materialized. In several years of operations these casinos have barely been profitable after struggling to break even. There has been no great windfall of cash as Detroit and New Orleans were swamped with deficits. Chicago seems headed down the same road.
Anyone driving around or interacting with the public knows Chicago is in big trouble. House of cards. The whole thing is getting ready to fall apart.
Elections have consequences Chicago, Cook County, and the state of Illinois will suffer for another 50, because there are people ignorant enough to continue voting demoRat, and raising their children to do the same. When the banks stop writing checks to the City and the City declares bankruptcy, what will be the three main cuts? Services, bennies, and layoffs. By that time Cook County and Illinois won’t be far behind-businesses and population will decline to the point of the tax structure being unable to support the Spending Beast. The feds will have to bail out states and local governments with money borrowed from the Federal Reserve-deficit spending. We will become a debtor nation ripe for the picking. Ugh!
Détroit had emerged from bankruptcy and now has a higher credit rating than Chicago... yup, it would be a BIG insult to Detroit.
The pension will be fine though! We r screwed!
Bubble land on 51 and Western Ave over 200 voters, Chuy has a few honey holes like this for getting illegals to sign petitions.
It's basically a road map for Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, and a host of other blue cities.
The older he gets, the more red-pilled Kass becomes. Only took a few decades.
John Kass is a pu$$y that could not even defend his own family against the Duff outfit when they challenged him, physically, after the stories he wrote about them. He went to the FBI like a little bitch.
See if you can spot the exact problem just about any blue city has, it's readily apparent to anyone.
I read a couple of editorials including this one by Kass. He's not very good, pretty generic. If you want, look up kuntsler on zerohedge and elsewhere, more wit and more news, like the fact some of crook's phones pinged across the street from the FBI. I've not seen it in print but he doesn't lie...
Nice post, but do you really believe elections in this City are won by votes?
I once phone banked for a candidate with voter records provided by Mark Kirk's office. Without trying, I found a guy registered six times, simply by checking the phone number. It's not that hard to run a duplicates check on SSI numbers and develop a strategy for weeding out old registrations.
Conehead's administration is like the White Sox of government. They are the all time worst. But, is it going to still get even worse. Is that even humanly possible?
Kass used to be decent, but not in Royko territory. Now Kass is just so angry and bitter. Let it go, man. Are you going to have another heart attack because the Tribune sucks now and is run by leftie morons?
I’m retired and live in a state with vote by mail. I have a rental where the mail comes to my address. I have six ballots for former tenants who have moved out of state. No voter fraud?
You’ll know it’s over when McDonald’s pulls out
Is this one of those “can’t see the forest through the folks thing”
I mean trees.
Remember the days when we would watch the neighborhood for smart looking, well dressed men, driving T-birds, like Efrem Zimbalist Jr., hoping to get a glance of a real life, stalwart agent?
Kass has a great recipe on YouTube for Jalapeno Poppers. I made them yesterday for the Bear game. They go well with Beatrice's five alarm chili.
I'm sure the investment bankers overseas are waiting for the right time to buy O'Hare and Midway at a fire sale. A massive tax increase will not help keep the cities bill paid and all of the socialist plans the mayor wants to fund.
That’s how it’s always been. Casinos don’t make that much money anymore. With all the online betting and huge lotto prizes there is only so much gambling money out there
Usually, these are areas with a lot of people coming and going and the voter roles are not being updated as frequently. I mean, who calls the board of elections and cancels their voting address when they move? Doesn't necessarily mean they vote from there. They still have to show a valid voter ID. That's why you have two election observers at the polling place -- a dem and a repub -- checking everybody who goes through. And, really, of all the conspiracy theories, this is probably the weakest. Chicago being thrown to the Dems? It's like saying Oklahoma Repubs are trying to sneak a few extra Repub voters into the polls. There's no need.
Detroit already did what Chicago needs to do: go bankrupt.
Surprisingly, Detroit pensioners didn't take all that huge a hit. The very highest paid pensioners - and Detroit had an insanely generous system, makes ours look cheap - took at most a 25% haircut. Most pensioners didn't get hit at all.
My grandfather died in 1968.
He voted for dumBHO 8 times.
The CTU is backing a candidate in every district for the school board election. Vote for the other candidate.
Look at the numbers. Chicago has a population of 2,746,388 according to the 2020 U.S. Census. Chicago claims a registered voter roll of 2,115,542. That's a registration rate of 77%. Los Angeles has a population of 3,820,914. Their registered voter roll shows 2,137,845 voters, or 55.95%. You mean to tell me that Chicago has a registered voter base 21% higher than LA? That's both statistically and realistically impossible. But don't look behind the curtain. Never look behind the curtain!
Karl Denninger has a great blog, but any time he spends on Stocks & Jocks podcast talking to liberal moron The Chief liberal is a comedic wasteland.
No one, that is judges, ask for valid ID at the polls. I have never been asked. They casually check your signature. Judicial Watch and Heritage Foundation are suing many states, to include Illinois, to clean up the rolls. Millions of names have been removed. One study indicated that up to 15% of non-citizens have admitted that they have voted.
Only if someone turns the ballots in.
