More importantly, did Rahm commit voter fraud ?

Quote
Every year, the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners conducts a canvass by mail to verify the voter rolls. This past year, a full canvass was done. More than a million voters were contacted. And the commissioners were quite proud of their work.

According to Odelson's documents, election officials twice sent notices to Emanuel's house on Hermitage Avenue.

Both times, the notices were returned to sender. Each was stamped with Emanuel's forwarding address in Washington. Election officials do not allow such notices to be forwarded to a new address. The election board purged Emanuel from the voting lists for the first time in October 2009, ruling him an "inactive" voter.

But Emanuel's voter status switched to "active" just before the Feb. 2 primary. He voted using an absentee ballot listing the Hermitage address even though the Halpin family lived there and they also voted from that address. Voters purged from the rolls usually present a driver's license, a lease, a copy of a mortgage or other such documentation to be reinstated.

"By some magical means, which I think will come out after objections are filed, Emanuel was reinstated," Odelson told me.

In May, Emanuel was again rendered inactive. Just last month, he reregistered, using a new address on Milwaukee Avenue in order to vote.

I seem to recall the left raising all kinds of hell with something similar with Ann Coulter.

It would be a stopper if laws meant anything to Democrats, but of course they don't.
Go and tell the Spartans, O traveler passing by
That here, obedient to their law, we lie.

Anything worth shooting once is worth shooting at least twice.
