"Blackfive" reports being turned away from the polls in Chicago:
I was not in the [voter registration] books. I've voted in every election in my district since moving there in 2000...
...I have two forms of ID - a driver's license and a Firearm Owner ID. I also have a faculty ID for the UofC and a corporate ID from where I work. I had my Voter Registration Card. I also had a paycheck with my address on it...
...As I left on my way to the County Election Commission to file a complaint, I asked ten different people who were also denied a vote because they weren't in the book, "Are you Republicans?"
All ten replied, "Yes."
"Did you vote in the primary?"
Nine, "Yes." Who's "suppressing the vote" here, I wonder. Oh. Yes. It's Chicago. 'Nuff said?
