role in adminstering the election. You are citing the few proud socialists as if they are running this election and stealing for their preferred candidte when they have no role in it whatsoever,

I am not certain what the issue of when the municipal elections are has to do with your allegations of fraud in connection with a non-municpal office in a primary during the same period of time most other states are holding primaries. To be honest I am not certain why Illinois municipal elections are held when they are but it is set by State statiute and they have been in April for as long as I can remember. I know you think everything you dont like is th fault of Dems but many of these old rules were set years ago by Republicans in Illinois (yes they once upon a time had most of the statewide offices and legislature). For instance the Illinois statewides offices are in non-presidential years due to a change in th state constituion from the convention that had more Republican delegates than Democratis delagates.

As you can see from the results the party is pretty evenly split here so the idea one side is setting the rules to help themselves is silly. The date has been what it has been forever and yes it favors incumbents and the better organized candidate but that would be true either way.
