GOP was prepunching IL ballots in 2002! Buried story
A GOP precinct worker in Chicago was caught prepunching ballots in order to create overvotes in her precinct for the Dems. Tribune reported it and nothing more was reported because it goes against the media stereotype that dems only do this. This was how Jeb did it also...he prepunched three corners of the chad and then placed it back so voters didn't know they had a potentially loose chad that would make it look like an overvote after being run through the machine.

Can anyone lexis-nexis this story?

3. Perhaps Ilinois isn't the best state to use...
Considering both Kerry and Obama received an overwhelming majority there.

4. My point is the GOP prepunched ballots here...
If Dems did it they should be prosecuted also. But they want to make it look like only Dems steal elections.

6. Lexis returns nothing of the sort
There is a special on Election misconduct that deals with the efforts to make voting as difficult as possible for non-whites, but there is nothing about pre-punching ballots to create overvotes.

It may be easier to locate if you gave more details about this story. What day? What are some of the names mentioned?
