i don't know if you meant this to be funny, but I was laughing! This is a
great piece, mneme! Maybe political satire needs to be added to your already varied and talented writing styles!

Dead people vote every election in Chicago

Or at least that's what I'm told.  I don't know any dead people who have voted, but that doesn't mean it doesn't go on.
