The Cook County state’s attorney’s office says no problems have been reported in a ward that includes Chicago’s Chinatown after alleged electioneering and voter fraud in the previous election.
CHICAGO (AP) — The Cook County state’s attorney’s office says no problems have been reported in a ward that includes Chicago’s Chinatown after alleged electioneering and voter fraud in the previous election.
The state’s attorney’s office on Tuesday was monitoring the 25th ward where incumbent Alderman Danny Solis faces Cuahutemoc Morfin.
The state’s attorney’s office received reports of electioneering and fraud during the Feb. 22 election allegedly involving precinct captains for the Solis campaign. There were also reports of election judges and poll watchers giving illegal voter assistance at the ballot box.
The state’s attorney’s office had asked the Chicago Police Department to assign officers fluent in Chinese to help monitor polling places in the 14th, 16th and 18th precincts.
