O’KEEFE: DEM JUDGES POSED AS REPUBLICANS ON ELECTION DAY

Project Veritas has exposed even more corruption by Dems, this time by catching Democrat judges from Chicago on undercover video violating election regulations by pretending to be Republicans on Election Day.

There is supposed to be an equal number of Republican and Democratic judges on Election Day to ensure equal representation and to monitor voting, according to Illinois state law.

The undercover Project Veritas journalist asked judge named Betty Jones what being a Republican judge means.

“Oh, you know what, I’m just a judge I get paid,” Jones said. “I just get paid. I don’t give a green flip. I don’t care what it means.”

maybe they were Russian Republicans !!

This is confusing. So what exactly do these judges do? They say it's to help people? How, by pointing them to the voting booth? Are these people forced to be Republicans because state requires both parties be represented but that no actual Republicans would step up and become judges so here they are?

All of this is confusing an O'Keefe doesn't do a good job of explaining what exactly is going on in this 5 minutes video.

In the United States an election judge (called an elections inspector, elections officer or poll worker in some U.S. states) is an official responsible for the proper and orderly voting in local precincts. Depending on the state, election judges may be identified as members of a political party or non-partisan. They are generally volunteers or paid a small stipend for their work. Each voting precinct is staffed with multiple judges. The duties include signing in registered voters, explaining voting procedure and use of voting equipment, providing ballots and monitoring the conduct of the election. In states with Election Day voter registration, they also register new voters on election day. Depending on the state, election judges are chosen by a board of elections, county official (such as the county clerk or county auditor), city or township official (such as a city clerk) or the state

So what's the conspiracy here? Did O'Keef actually catch them in the act of changing ballots or lying to people so they don't vote for Trump? Sounds like what I stated earlier, rules required someone be a R but since no R's in Chicago were available some D's have to become an R. Last I heard, Chicago's Republican demographics wasn't very large? And where in Chicago did O'Keef film this? What neighborhood? So many questions, no real answers. Sounds like a smear job to me.

Unless there was REAL malicious intent, you know election fraud, I don't see the scandal here. But I'm sure that won't stop conservatives from crying wolf.

Well actually in Chicago the laws mean zero.


Source of "Vote Early and Often"

The cynical phrases "Vote early -- and often" and "Vote early -- and vote often" are variously attributed to three different Chicagoans: Al Capone, the famous gangster; Richard J. Daley, mayor from 1955 to 1976; and William Hale Thompson, mayor from 1915-1923 and 1931-1935. All three were notorious for their corruption and their manipulation of the democratic process. It is most likely that Thompson invented the phrase, and Capone and Daley later repeated it.
