Reply #13: I agree 100% that Dems s/b doing that [View All]

I'm just taking, for example, here in DuPage County. As far as I'm aware, there is no Dem representation on that board. Hell, we're lucky if we even have a Democrat to vote for on the ballot! There are no Democrats with any authority on the Board.

We can banter about how it got to be that way, and point fingers back at McAullife, DNC, etc. Frankly, I think it should be legislatively mandated that an equal number of Democrats and Republicans should be on the County Board of Elections, and the Chair be voted on as well.

All I'm saying is that the DNC/McAullife did not have a seat at the table for Republican majority districts and definitely not for solidly Republican districts for the 2004 election. What the DNC can and should do in terms of educating, etc. as you are saying I completely agree with. :)
