To get on the ballot, Krupa was required to file 473 valid signatures of ward residents with the Chicago Board of Elections. Krupa filed 1,703 signatures.

But before he filed his signatures with the elections board, an amazing thing happened along the Chicago Way.
An organized crew of political workers — or maybe just civic-minded individuals who care about reform — went door to door with official legal papers. They asked residents to sign an affadavit revoking their signature on Krupa’s petition.
Revocations are serious legal documents, signed and notarized. Lying on a legal document is a felony and can lead to a charge of perjury. If you’re convicted of perjury, you may not work for a government agency. And I know that there are many in the 13th Ward on the government payroll.
More than 2,700 revocations were turned over to the elections board to cancel the signatures on Krupa’s petitions. Chicago Board of Elections officials had never seen such a massive pile of revocations.
“The board has received a few revocations here and there in very rare electoral board cases over the years,” said election board spokesman Jim Allen.
But more than 2,700? Impossible, no?
“They're pretty rare, and no one can remember anything approaching this volume of filings in past cases,” Allen said. “For the board, the next step is to begin the hearings on all of the objections that have been filed against any candidates' nominating petitions. We can't speculate, though, on the legitimacy or any other legal questions about any of the objections or the corresponding petitions.”
The number of revocations far exceeds the number of signatures Krupa collected. That means false affidavits were filed with the elections board.

Concerning Chicago politics... What happened to stop the “Second City Cop” blog?
All power comes from the business end of a gun.

First off we're talking about Chicago, everybody with any sense know's, that the DEAD always vote for DemocRATS in Chicago and else where.
Although every dead vote must be counted, your never going to get a DemocRATS prosecutor to summon a dead person to court, because CNN would be crying your invalidating the vote count.
So, the candidate is still good to go?

Back in the “oughts”, my employer was installing a high-pressure pipeline near Joliet. One morning, we showed up to work to find a fresh body in the trench.
Thanks Nailbiter. The shortcut I used everyday stopped working a month ago. I couldn’t get thru with a google search either, just went to a generic blog place holder.
I thought some kind of big hammer came down on the guy who runs Second City Cop.
This blog is a real eye opener as to how governments operate.
“If I were a prosecutor, I would file charges against all 2609 asshats who did this...”
The prosecutor will be unable to contact the people who revoked their signatures (because they all died a long time ago), and even the guy who notarized these documents will turn out to be one of the hundreds of fake notaries in Chicago.
No charges, no news, no problem.
Well, the waste disposal company, presumably mobbed up, needed a place to put special items.
Well, that is one meme that needs to go viral!
Thanks!
