Urge abandonment of election manual
CHICAGO AP A Chicago civic group urged the Illinois State Board of Elections to drop its new manual for state election judges for the March 16 primary. Thomas F. Roeser of Project LEAP said the draft is weaker than the current manual and would cut qualified poll watchers by about one third, weakening watchdogs in high vote fraud areas. He noted hearings were held in Springfield and LEAP gained more time to file objections.
