49th Ward Vote Uncertain

JUST A REMINDER: DON GORDON HAS NOT CONCEDED. Now then, many in the embattled 49th Ward of Chicago question the veracity of the April 17 vote. I'm not saying it was fixed; I personally have no evidence of this, other than a number of photos and videos that show Joe Moore cheating, handing out cash, shaking hands with old folks as they voted and other smarmy items. In round numbers, Moore took half the vote in February, and again got half three days ago. Moore spent, by varying estimates, from $600,000 to $1.5 million on a campaign to stay on as a lowly alderman in a two-square mile area. Despite all the money, all the lies, all the imported foot soldiers, and the genius of Boy Wonder Alex Armour, Moore's vote tally did not improve by any statistically significant percentage. On the other hand, Don Gordon went from 29 percent in February's election to virtually 50 percent this week. AND HE HAS NOT CONCEDED.
