Ahhh, thank you. Now I am thoroughly, reliably and professionally informed. Totally up to date with general knowledge of the crème de la crème.

I remember that melody .... was it stolen off them by someone else later?

Great post. We still don't know who's dick is bigger but can we just decide we don't really care and go back to Trump?

A bad person? No. But with the username PaddyG, I thought you might know about Chicago. Ever see The Untouchables?

Is Chicago an Irish city?
Irish-Americans are the largest ethnic group in Chicago, but their city population declined over the last two decades while growing in some suburbs, according to recent data. ... But the Irish-American population has dropped since 1990 by about 16.4 percent, or about 39,000 people, according to U.S. census data.Mar 16, 2012

Funny how people draw the craziest assumptions. I'm not Irish (only by marriage, incidentally), nor do I have any remotely Irish ancestry.
As it happens, I am well aware that Chicago has strong Irish connections, but how that immediately draws me to the conclusion of widespread vote-rigging, I really have no idea.
Does it happen in Boston too? Asking for a friend.

Wow, lots of naturalizations of Irish those days, huh?

I personally suspect the Swiss population consists of about 95% foreigners.
Which is fine by me.

Thank you
!

Ah that corrupt Chicago East Side

I would say Do your own research, but feeling charitable today!

And for you conspiracy theorists, check out the name of the Mayor of Boston after WWII: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Michael_Curley

Curiouser and curiouser, I say! ;-)

It traditionally is a centre of the mob and organised crime - perhaps that is more to do with the vote rigging than the Irish per se!

Why? I'm not remotely interested in voter-fraud in 1800s Chicago. Really I'm not.

I had much more associated Chicago with voting district gerrymandering rather than out and out fraud, something the Republicans are now indulging in with glee in many states.

You asked, for a friend, about voter fraud in Boston, and the posted article mentioned Boston as one of the cities where this occurred.

"Witnesses of a fraudulent election in Boston, later said that the election “was carried out by violence and murder” and that politicians would bring gangs from New York, Delaware, Washington and Alexandria to help win elections. Senators from both the Democratic and Republican parties were outed during an investigation of a plan to use “repeaters.” Later, new African-Americans voters of the 1880s were often cooped until after election day, the threat of which was to keep them from voting on the Republican ticket, sometimes after Democrats already voted under African-American voters’ names."

Fascinating. Not.

Meanwhile striking at the very heart of Trump's base

Whatever next, learning to read

Vote rigging happens anywhere in the US. But there are things which has much more impact than a few dead people, some non-citizens, and rigged absentee ballots. Stuff which happens on administrative level and a even to some extend legal: Gerrymandering, voting lists which are not fully distributed, complicated voter registration process, polling station at hard to reach location or lacking public transport access.

Or as they say: The best way to rob a bank is to own one, the best way to rig an election is to conduct it.

There is this thing called sarcasm. So widely spread on EF that we don't even bother to add the fitting emoticon anymore most times.

If anybody wants a link.

And I am still waiting for you to tell us about your links to perfidious voting crimes in post-WWII Boston...

From moi?
How much clearer could I have said I don't give a shit?
Ah, that way. Right.

I thought that was PaddyG. Hmmm

Neither those who share your POV nor those who oppose it will see any reason at all to do any digging. Simply because they already did, and doing so again from the same starting point is in all likelihood a waste of time.

That's why the onus is on you and fduvall, and whoever else happens to make a point.

This should be quite obvious for anyone willing to take the other's position even for just a moment. Perhaps use that grey matter between your ears for once. I trust you know how.

The two sources I cited discuss the very convoluted history of election fraud in Chicago. In talking to someone who studies this stuff he remarked that there is a lot of urban legend and embellishment to these stories. Recent attempts to prove fraud have fallen flat. The most recent elections had more problems with voter suppression and gerrymandering (as SwissintheUS mentioned, than by dead voters/illegal alien voters (of which there were practically none)

However, most cities, Chicago among them had very active political machines in the 20th Century and fraud may have been part of the game.

Crunch time coming up in 3 months.
Will the more Trump than Trump GOP candidates sweep to mid term victories or will they be be swept away in Democrat and Independents anti Trump reactions?

Maybe the special election for Ohio's 12th congressional district tomorrow will show the way or Trump will surprise us all with success!

Meanwhile how the mighty are fallen!
