Bill Stoneberg Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 We both stuffed the ballot boxes and bribed the poll workers... Chicago style voting at its finest.Seriously, I think it works with spousal voting privledges. Both Dee and I can vote but I believe it counts for 2 votes and only 1 ballot. If ONLY I and not Dee belong, 1 vote = 1 ballot.At least this is what I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurstGN Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 chicago style voting now in Texas? What is this world coming to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveCorbin Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 My addition of all the votes shows 3,180 total votes. Each ballot is allowed 3 (single) or 6 (spousal) votes. If there are 848 ballots returned and 210 are spousal and 638 are singles, you've arrived within 4 votes of the total shown. Allowing for a few incompletes and you're there. Given the above figures, the absolute upper limit for any candidate would be 1058 (638 + 210 + 210). I lived in and was the chapter director in Chicago, so I know the "early and often" rule in Chicago politics. I'm quite sure our people are above that!

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Mark, thanks for "stirring the pot". I am a new BCA member and wondered at the total. I figured it was a typo. Now we know. Thanks Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Ben, Like many other organizations, we tend to assume everyone knows stuff and new members of the group can get lost. Glad to help....thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest William_Darrow Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Just a quick comment, if there are two names on your mailing address label, then you have two votes, one for the member and his or her spouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reatta Man Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Chicago politics in Texas? Nah, down here, we claim they stole the idea from us!Ever heard of "Landslide Lyndon" Johnson? Take a look:http://www.anecdotage.com/index.php?aid=5257http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_B._Johnson#Early_political_careerBy the way, Johnson was a huge Lincoln fan; the car, that is, not the president. His Lincoln Continental convertible, which he kept on his ranch outside of Austin, was recently auctioned off at a Kruse auction. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
