Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says his top adviser voting in Texas is ‘personal matter’

[jimc]

Lee has said he is allowed to vote in Texas even though he lives in Chicago.

“Being registered in a city and living in a city aren’t the two same things,” Lee told the Tribune in his interview last week. “You don’t have to be registered to vote to live in a city. And on May 15, (2023,) I had residency in Chicago, and I’ve been a resident.”

I guess we can vote wherever we want.

You don't have to be registered to vote to live in a city.
But you DO have to live in a city to be registered to vote there.

If he is living in chicago he should be voting in Chicago.

The only asset you need to win an election in Chicago is being black. Obviously nothing else matters. hell lots of cities for that matter.

This guy is something else. Rules just don’t apply to him and he knows full well what he did was wrong.
This quote from the article cracks me up. It wasn’t me that did anything wrong but the random poll worker lied and did bad not him.
His voting information from last month indicates Lee gave confirmation to the poll worker that he still lives in Texas, though Lee told the Tribune he does not recall such a conversation.

“I don’t know what they asked me. I don’t recall what they asked. It doesn’t matter what they asked me,” Lee said when presented with his voting record from November. “You think that every single interaction at a polling location goes exactly by what they mark?”

I guess all you conservatives trapped in NY can vote in IL and turn it red then, right ?

Or NJ since it was only 5 points or so towards the Dems.

How about we turn NY red first ?

Good point.

I'll just add, that New York state is already red.

New York City is what screws everything up when it comes to the red/blue thing.

Even Long Island and Staten Island votes red.

It's those five shithole boroughs in New York City that fucks everything up for everyone else.

It's frustrating.

4 shithole boros. Staten Island is the 5th boro

Your right, 4 shithole boros.

Where I live is about as far away from New York City as one can be and still be within New York.
So, IDK. lol

The point of jerrymandering is to get 51% in many states and 0% in a few.

But, if you think swinging NY red is easier than IL, then go for it.

But, everyone needs to be working the same play or it doesn't work.

When half your offense wants to pass so they run a passing play, and the other half wants to run, so they run that play, it's going to be a disaster.

I’ll bet if Hochul was on the ballot in November she would have lost against whoever was running and I’ll bet Trump would have taken NYS.

 

[Grimscale]

New York City AND DOMINION is what screws everything up when it comes to the red/blue thing.

FIFY

That's right but all the Red is in the sparsest populated counties in the state , huge land mass but no people. Hence the reason I advocate for a state electoral college ie: 1 vote per county for governor and/or any position that is not local government . That would fix most of the issues in this state , never going to happen but a guy can dream.

That's a good solution to the unfair advantage that the shithole cities currently have.

I live in a very red area, where there are more cows than people.
Unfortunately, cows can't vote. If they could they'd all vote red.
One of them told me so... True story.






Cornfields and deer, trees, and rocks don't vote.
And here we are.

I and many others here are living under taxation without representation.
We have no say in anything...

A "state electoral college ie: 1 vote per county for governor" sure would go a long way to ah fuck it that will never happen. But yeah, Moo.

Nah, just restore the original "landowner" requirement for voting.

Once the apartment dwellers are off the voter rolls we can restore sanity.

But that would disenfranchise all the trailer-park trash, too

I bet they would open up something where you could purchase the plot the trailer is on.

Basically run the park like an HOA.

If you want to live in an apartment and vote you could do a condo too.

But, the people who can't be bothered wouldn't vote, and that's going to be 90% citidiots.

For sure, *some* intelligent voters would be disenfranchised, but if you knew losing your one vote would eliminate 10 votes for the opposite side, wouldn't you take that deal ?

 

[TEOTWAWKI inc.]

I still have a house in NY. It is beyond ridiculous that I can't vote in the state and local elections affecting that property, as long as I'm subjected to the taxes levied on it, or anything else that could impact its value.

 

[Robin]

Dominion has disenfranchised millions already.

That’s not a bad thought honestly. If you’re paying for the government in that jurisdiction you should be able to vote there.

I always thought a bicameral setup where one house was 1 vote per (eligible) person and the other was one vote per dollar paid in taxes would be a good way to setup a government.

And all spending came from the tax house

"...under the jurisdiction..."

Nope.
I'm not losing ANY of my rights because of stupid people.
They'll just have to learn that the hard way.
