So Diane Kavadias-Schneider was appointed as a special judge in a voting fraud case brought by the GOP, who want to shut down several voting centers in the largely Democratic Lake County, Il., on the grounds that the election process there will increase the likelihood of such fraud.
After touring several sites and hearing hours of testimony, Kavadias-Schneider was apparently satisfied that at least prospectively, the early and absentee voting in the county is secure against potential fraud. But when she asked GOP lawyer R. Lawrence Steele about ballots already cast, he replied: "Maybe those votes should be discarded."
Just throwing it out there, I guess.*
