DUers TAKE ACTION! Challenge Alan Keyes Illinois voter's registration!!!

Did Alan Keyes REALLY register to vote? If so it might not be valid!

In today's Chicago Sun-Times, columnist Michael Sneed reports that Alan Keyes registered to vote yesterday, listing his home address as 502 Garfield Ave. in Calumet City, however according to the Illinois State Board of Elections website, an individual "Must have been a resident of the precinct at least 30 days."

So what is the truth? Did Alan Keyes really register to vote? Was this some publicity stunt? Has he lived in Calumet City for 30 days? If not will his registration be valid? Who told Sneed that he registered? Does she know the law? Did she think to question her source?

From the Chicago Sun-Times 8/11/04:

It's official!

August 11, 2004

BY MICHAEL SNEED (msneed@suntimes.com) SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST

Republican U.S. Sen. hopeful Alan Keyes registered to vote Monday, listing his address as 502 Garfield Ave. in Calumet City.
