Green Party Suggests Chicago Ballot Spelling Error, May Be Intentional

GREEN PARTY CHAIR AVAILABLE AT CHICAGO BOARD OF ELECTIONS PRESS CONFERENCE

Green Party Chair Phil Huckelberry will be on hand at a Chicago Board
of Elections press conference to take questions from the media
regarding a spelling error with the city's electronic voting machines.
It was discovered earlier this week that the last name of Green Party
gubernatorial candidate Rich Whitney was spelled "Whitey" on
electronic voting machines throughout the city.

"We have been a victim of election shenanigans in the past in Chicago,
especially in the 2008 primary when voters were denied Green Party
ballots throughout the city. We are looking forward to hearing how
this problem was caused, and what solutions the Board of Elections has
come up with to fix this, so all voters and candidates can be assured
a fair election," said Huckelberry.

The press conference will be held at the 69 W Washington, 8th Floor
Conference Room, 3 p.m. (subject to change without notice).
Huckelberry, along with Cook County Green Party Chair Alberto
Bocanegra, and candidate for Treasurer Scott Summers, who is also an
attorney, will be available during and after the press conference to
take questions.
