On the recordJanuary 6, 2005
the irregularities were not confined to the State of Ohio. Let me give you an Illinois example. In DuPage County, IL, 26 percent of provisional ballots were counted, but in Chicago, a few miles away, 61 percent were counted. That is more than twice as many. That is largely because Chicago allows provisional ballots to be cast by a voter who turns up in the wrong precinct on election day. DuPage County does not, the county right next to Cook County. How is it that the fundamental right of an American citizen to have his or her vote counted can vary dramatically--not just from State to State but from county to county? We need to address this on a national basis.
