CHICAGO � Early voting in Illinois got off to a rocky start Monday, as votes being cast for Republican candidates were transformed into votes for Democrats.
Republican state representative candidate Jim Moynihan went to vote Monday at the Schaumburg Public Library.
"I tried to cast a vote for myself and instead it cast the vote for my opponent," Moynihan said. "You could imagine my surprise as the same thing happened with a number of races when I tried to vote for a Republican and the machine registered a vote for a Democrat."
The conservative website Illinois Review reported that "While using a touch screen voting machine in Schaumburg, Moynihan voted for several races on the ballot, only to find that whenever he voted for a Republican candidate, the machine registered the vote for a Democrat in the same race. He notified the election judge at his polling place and demonstrated that it continued to cast a vote for the opposing candidate's party.
With the North Carolina U.S. Senate race in a dead heta, state election officials say they have discovered 145 names on the voting rolls who are ineligible to vote because they are illegal immigrants who have been granted President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status.
According to a Winston-Salem Journalreport, the State Board of Elections discovered the potential illegal voters Tuesday night when the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles ran a search for DACA licenses. The 145 DACA recipients whose names appear on the SBOE's voting rolls will be sent letters requesting documentation that they are citizens, the report noted.
DACA beneficiaries in North Carolina are able to obtain drivers licenses, but they are not able to vote.
The Journalnotes that it is likely more ineligible people may still remain on the voting rolls.
Nearly 10,000 names on the rolls are tagged by the DMV as "legally present," according to elections and transportation officials. But that doesn't mean that all 10,000 are ineligible to vote at this time. These are license holders who were not U.S. citizens when they got a license. They may have been green-card holders, foreign workers or foreign students, for example.
Most have become U.S. citizens since getting a license, according to an estimate by elections officials based on a sample of the overall list.
According to the report, earlier this month the SBOE officials did a sample cross-check of 1,600 of the 10,000 "legally present" names against a Department of Homeland Security database and found that 94 percent were U.S. citizens and eligible to vote. However, that still meant that six percent were ineligible, meaning if the ratio held for the whole 10,000, 600 people would be ineligible.
canesfan which debates did you see between Hagen and TIllis?... as for the outcome....non partisian polls show Hagen answered all the questions asked of her as opposed to Tillis who dodged many...but that is ok you must have been watching through Rose Colored Glasses to Congrat Tillis on winning for debates...the last one he debated himself?.....
Fiction Fixer you post information like your name...Fiction ...what legal problems are you referring too?.....LaFaro is chairman of the Committee that says alot about this....all we have is his word as to the Fraud of voting...no evidence has been presented in court....perhaps its due to the fact there was little evidence to back up his accusation......and just to clear it for you this is Arizona's problem....but you present this like chicken little the Sky is fall the sky is falling...
While it's easy to destroy the arguments made by the drones; maybe this pause in their daily propaganda is a signal that they are actually recognizing the failure of liberal ideology? Maybe they are finally tired of trotting out the usual diversions to avoid talking about actual facts? You know... spelling, grammar, deriding web links so they don't have to look at them, complaining about how much time online, or if a poster is too slow answering one of their straw-man fake questions, "bushdidit" chirping...
Maybe they are finally seeing the error of their ways, and are defecting from the dark side?
Probably not, but one can only hope, for the betterment of this country.
Liberals don't have to make Conservatives look like minority, women and gay haters. When they promote voting bans that target black and Hispanic voters, want to tell women what they can do with their bodies and fight tooth and nail to keep gays from having the same basic rights as straight people, they take create that image all on their own.
Every Republican, Conservative, and Tea party voter that is registered had better get out and vote if they plan on going anywhere filling seats in this election. The liberals are going all over the country trying to classify the republican party as women haters, h*mosexual haters, and also trying to legalize all the illegals to vote for all that are running for the democrat seats that are to be filled.

Seems the repubs are guilty of all the above except the part about illegals. I don't know of any democrats who want illegals to vote, however the repubs would do it if they make them vote for their party. Voter fraud is almost non existent in this country, but repubs are grasping at straws to make it an issue.
Your right 88. After this election you are going to see Obama open the borders wide open. There's not going to be any illegals anymore. He will sign his name on a piece of paper and they all will be citizens. More voters for the Dems in 2016

Kay had important business with our Messiah last night. She wanted to make sure she was up on the current issues with Obama and would support him no matter what!
