3. This Was Not Me That Got That Sample Ballot Or Took A Picture Of It.....

I am going by what one person who said they received it said and passing this on.

I am simply trying to bring this to the attention of Bernie folks here on DU to alert them to some possible shenanigans going on in Illinois.

It just isn't right - whether it came from the City or Cook County. Somebody out there is pulling a fast one on the voters. This shouldn't be condoned by Bernie or Hillary. It might be perfectly legit to send out - what you call cheat sheets for candidates they have endorsed. But it crosses the line when one makes it look like an official document from the City or County or Election Board and it ceases to be legit when all information is not provided. That's when it becomes a dirty trick. This was done intentionally to fool the voters. This type of behavior shouldn't be happening in a democracy. We should just not laugh it off as being a childish prank. This is a form of 'voter suppression' in my estimation.
