Chicago Democratic Machine Goes to Extraordinary Lengths to Keep Candidate for Chicago Alderman off Ballot

Posted on by December 9, 2018

David Krupa is a candidate for Alderman, 13th ward, in the February 2019 Chicago non-partisan election.  He needed 473 signatures to get on the ballot, and he submitted 1,703 signatures.  But then individuals who do not want him on the ballot submitted 2,700 affidavits of people who claim they had signed for Krupa and they now wish to revoke their signatures.  See this Chicago Tribune story.  Only 187 people who signed a revocation had actually signed Krupa’s petition, which means the other 2,513 individuals who said they had signed for Krupa were not telling the truth.  Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link.  Krupa is 19 years old.

  6. @Andy,

    The article says that attorney for the candidate was going to ask the board of elections to refer the matter to legal authorities. The article noted that the current AG is Madigan’s daughter, and that the incoming AG had recived a million dollars or so.

    I wonder if the revocations use some weasal words like “any petition signatures I may have made”.

    This is kind of like when a candidate with a Hispanic surname was going to run against a Madigan candidate. He deliberately filed in Springfield rather than in Chicago and minutes before the deadline. As he arrived at 5 minutes before the deadline, a Madigan heeler walked up with not one, but two petitions for Hispanic-surnamed candidates (if the original candidate was Martinez, the other petitions were for Fernandez and Gomez). If the candidate had filed in Cook County, there probably would have been petitions for Hernandez and Mendoza.
