Wayne brought up another point...
Pole watchers....
I was a pole watcher for several candidates back in my hometown (very
Conservative, republican), I did several times object to situations that
Happened. Bottom line: The precinct committee person of the ruling
party
Is the "decider". Now, I'm in a more liberal town (although
conservative compared to Chicago, East Stl, or Peoria) and the same
things happen.
Is this just Illinois?

It's a provisional ballot, the only paper ballot you're likely to see at
a polling place these days. And in all but a handful of states they
only apply to federal elections. There is strict accounting of the
ballots and a paper audit trail. Remember that there are poll watchers
at every polling place and a system that is pretty good at eliminating
fraud. The days of ballot box stuffing are long gone.

-I have seen many times, a person has been given a ballot, when their
name is not on the roll. (yes, I know, the ballot is put in a stack,
to
be counted later. REALLY? Have you ever seen a "separate stack" of
ballots, waiting for review? Does it have the persons name on it? )
If you haven't seen that, we are at one of three places:
You NEVER have voted -or-
You are truly oblivious of things around you (the more probable) -or-
You are being disingenuous with you're arguments....
