Illinois Democrat: Mark Kirk's 'Voter Integrity' Effort Is 'Karl Rove Politics'
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/10/illinois_democrat_mark_kirks_voter_integrity_effor.php

Illinois GOP Senate candidate Mark Kirk is taking some heat from his Democratic opponent Alexi Giannoulias for bragging on a secretly-recorded phone call about his "voter integrity" project, which he said focused on two largely African-American sections of Chicago and two other urban areas in the state.

Kirk said on the tape recorded last week that he had arranged for lawyers and other people to be "deployed in key, vulnerable precincts, for example, South and West sides of Chicago, Rockford, Metro East, where the other side might be tempted to jigger the numbers somewhat."

Giannoulias said in a statement on Wednesday that he would have his lawyers look into Kirk's effort.

"That sort of Florida-style voter intimidation is disgusting, illegal, and smacks of the Karl Rove politics that Illinois voters are sick of," Giannoulias said.

1. Kirk better not win

He is a horrible person, all you need to know about him, is that he lied about his military record and that is an unforgivable offense.
Edit: also he is a stereotypical republican and former Dick Cheney Sex slave.
