Final Debate: Who's Cuter?

Who won? Nobody knows. Who decides anyway? The undecideds? Frankly, we're glad the debates are over.

So undecided voters, since you've no doubt done all of the research and still can't decide, you may as well make the decision based on superficial B.S. Whom do you like best and whom would rather hang out with based on three 90-minute discussions? Who is funnier? Whom would you rather date and kiss on the mouth?

Anyway, we just can't wait for November 2nd. It's a dead heat. Lawyers are ready and waiting and allegations of election fraud are flying around the nation.

Here in Chicago, the Chicago Board of Elections is investigating a number of fraudulent voter registrations charges. One man, registered to vote in the 5th ward in Hyde Park for 20 years, received a new voter registration card at his law office in the 4th ward. He said he wasn't tempted to vote twice, but we'd bet the same thing happened to other people who would. Chairman of the Chicago Board of Elections Langdon Neal blamed the discrepancies on deputies paid by various groups to register people to vote.

The charges are similar to those in an investigation the board started in March. The scheme includes 2,000 possibly fraudulent registrations in the 26th ward. In one case there were 17 voters registered at one gas station address.
