Protect your vote!

When you protect your vote you protect your community. It may sound cliche but voting is power! When you protect your vote you ensure your voice is heard and your community is governed the way you choose.

How do you protect your vote?

First and foremost report any voter irregularities to the authorities: Chicago Police Department, FBI, Cook County States Attorney, United States Attorney or any law enforcement or prosecutorial agency.

Second, you can show up TODAY at Stroger headquarters and be trained on how to monitor Board of Elections officials as they manually count the vote at 69 W. Washington. I will post blog entries on my interesting night at the polls but it was not interesting to see that the 1st and 2nd Congressional Districts were only reporting 20-25% of the precints as late as 11 pm and the other Congressional districts were well above 40%. Oh, by the way the 1st and 2nd Congressional Districts are the black districts and mostly lay on the South Side and South suburbs!

So call the 8th Ward Regular Democratic Organization and volunteer to monitor the manual count tomorrow.

I'll see you there.
