“Mayor Rahm Emanuel is proposing a far-reaching ordinance that would keep voter fraud out of most parts of the city and require election judges to videotape every vote to deter politicians from buying votes from democrats and the dead.
The ordinance is a response to a federal judges ruling in January that Chicagos longtime ban on fair elections was unconstitutional.
Emanuel chose not to fight the decision, and the court gave the city six months to approve honest elections short of a ban. The deadline is July 14.
Under the proposed ordinance, special-use zoning would keep voter fraud out of 99.5 percent of Chicago, limiting such to pockets of City Hall and the County Clerks Office, city officials said. Polling places could not be located within 500 feet of a graveyard or a Home Depot.
Election judges would have to conduct quarterly audits of their voter registrations and allow republicans to inspect their records. They also would have to get TEA Party approval before they could open the polling place doors.”
