Busted: SEIU Violating Election Law, 2007

I thought it would be a good time to revisit a polling place violation by some SEIU member during the 2007 Aldermanic run-off election in Chicago's 49th Ward. Incumbent Joe Moore was heavily supported by SEIU and ACORN. Here are photos that I took of some SEIU people inside of a polling place on election day, taping up flyers and talking to people as they came through the entrance.
