CHICAGO (STNG) ―
The U.S. Attorney's Office will monitor the general election in Chicago
and surrounding suburbs next Tuesday, U.S. Attorney Patrick J.
Fitzgerald announced Tuesday.
As
part of the monitoring effort, the office will operate a hotline for
candidates or the public to call to report any complaints relating to
voting. In addition, Assistant U.S. Attorneys will be available to
respond to complaints as needed, according to a release Tuesday from
Fitzgerald's office.
The hotline number, staffed on Election Day only, is (312) 469-6157.
"This office has a long tradition of monitoring the polls on Election Day."

I want to know how the Feds are going to monitor voting? Has
Fitzgerald set
up a network of poll watchers? How did he avoid charges of "voter
intimidation?" Will they be checking to see that every
voter has identity to match the name they're voting under? Are
the
Fed's computers - the same computers that can identify a fingerprint in
seconds - are they cross-checking for same-name voting in different
precincts? Cross checking against the Social Security Death Index? And if the Feds are watching, are these the guys doing it? I don't believe trust this story.
