Chicago Way w/John Kass: Dead people voting, flooded basements, and The Nice Man
Chicago Way w/John Kass (07/28/25): This week, Ald. Ray Lopez (15th) joins John Kass & Jeff Carlin to discuss how Mayor Brandon Johnson has let flooding plague the city, year after year, while he spends time picking fights with President Donald Trump. Ray also wonders if intellectual curiosity is dead and why Chicago’s voter rolls seem to be a minefield of missing information. Plus, Kass wonders why anyone would be against letting dead people vote?

Hopefully Ray Lopez announces his campaign for mayor and gets the money he needs to win the election. Mendoza is the Machine Candidate (Daley Democrat) and will get the full court press from the old establishment. Ray Lopez has consistently taken stands, popular or not and means what he says. He answers honestly and doesn’t bullshit you. Mendoza although likable, is a fence sitter, waiting to see which way public sentiment is blowing before taking a stand. Any stand. Lopez would be the next mayor in a perfect world but this is Chicago we’re talking about after all. I would also say almost anyone would be preferable than Mayor Conehead (per Second City Cop) but then everyone said that about Lori Lightfoot. See how well that worked out? By the way, if you want some laughs go to the Second City Cop site and read todays post about parking in the Chicago Fire Department lots! The more things change, they stay the same…
For all the low quality voting and elections policies and procedures you can say about Cook County and Illinois, at least Illinois has a State Board of Elections, as opposed to its elections being totally run by an elected Secretary of State, which a majority of other States have. If the Illinois State Board of Elections ran the elections in all of the 102 counties in Illinois, elections and voting would be much better than they are. Specifically, if there was an Illinois State Board of Elections – Cook County, dead voters would be taken off the rolls much faster and nursing home voting would be much more supervised.
