Vote Early, Vote Often, Repeat

The Clerk faxed your LakeCountyEye a friendly reminder that the November election -- as well as November -- is a scant two weeks away. And there are now more ways to vote than ever before, so there is no excuse not to. Vote, that is.

Besides waiting until Tuesday November 2 to vote -- old school -- operatives now can vote by mail and they can vote early, or in-person absentee. There is no doubt a voting site near you at this very moment, polls are open at village halls, township offices, OTB parlors, not to mention video-poker machines throughout Lake County. So what are you waiting for?

Admittedly your LakeCountyEye admonishing the operatives to get out and vote is like Glenn Beck admonishing his viewers to not tax their brains. It goes without saying that operatives will be voting early. And often. You see that's what operatives do in Illinois, they vote early and -- ha ha -- they vote often.

In fact your LakeCountyEye had been informed by knowledgeable sources in Springfield that our legislators had grown so tired of hearing that "vote early vote often" joke that they decided to make early voting the law of the land. And hopefully then their smart aleck constituents would think up some better jokes.

Well your LakeCountyEye has never been known to shrink from a challenge. Here are 10 alternatives to the old & tired admonishment to "vote early and vote often".
