Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sought at Courthouse Tuesday Night

I remember the first time that Jack Franks ran for State Representative low those 18 years ago in 1998.

In an attempt to get an honest count, he managed to get representatives from the U.S. Attorney’s Office to come to the courthouse.

He won the election.

I don’t know if the presence of the Feds had any part to play in his victory, but it couldn’t have hurt.

The McHenry County Administration Building, where the County Clerk's Office is located.

The McHenry County Administration Building, where the County Clerk’s Office is located on the first floor and in the basement.

This year both Republicans and Democrats have contacted the U.S. Attorney requesting a return of Assistant U.S. Attorneys to the McHenry County Courthouse.

Whether any will show up is unknown.

  1. We know the likelihood of getting any Republican U.S. Attorneys is minimal. We need knowledgeable Republican poll watchers at the County building. It is already evident to me that the current County Clerk is NOT up to the task of supervising an honest thorough count.
    Maybe we can get Dan Proft to pay for some competent poll watchers?

  2. Lou Bianchi is not running for office. Can he be a poll watcher at the County?

  3. **Maybe we can get Dan Proft to pay for some competent poll watchers?**

    LOL – you want Proft to make sure that there is an “honest thorough count?” That’s funny.

  4. I’ve heard things that are not flattering to the current Clerk.

    Election Judges/Poll Watchers of 20 yrs quitting.

    Maybe they will come forward after the election tomorrow.
