Presumably the DNC has identified these voters for future use in a general election.Twenty voters at a Far North Side precinct who found their ink pens not working were told by election judges not to worry.
It's invisible ink, officials said. The scanner will count it.
But their votes weren't recorded after all.
"Part of me was thinking it does sound stupid enough to be true,'' said Amy Carlton, who had serious doubts but went ahead and voted anyway.
As it turns out, Carlton was one of 20 voters at the precinct who were given the wrong pen to use. They were also then told, apparently by a misinformed judge, that the pens have invisible ink, elections officials said.
As a result, the votes were not counted. But officials insisted there were no dirty tricks involved.
"This one defies logic,'' said Jim Allen, a spokesman for the Chicago Board of Elections.
You never know, the battle might be in Illinois this time rather than Florida, and butterfly ballots are unfortunately not even used in Crook County any more. There's more:
Both women agreed that this election meant a lot. They had spent a good deal of time researching candidates.
"I have been voting since I was 18,'' said Carlton, 38. "This is the most important election of my life so far.''
Burkhardt planned to go back to vote late Tuesday. She worried about those who might not be able to return.
"I worry about the other people who were there,'' she said. "Maybe [they] can't get off work. I am a person of privilege. I can go back. What if you couldn't?"
(Dumb and dumber.) Those Democrats--every vote counts, except when it doesn't. And persons of privilege get a do-over. So unfair.
You know, Democrats, can't you even be responsible for your own vote without whining about it?
There you have it--Dem machine voters--dumber than a machine. Watch through the end for the last great quote.
