When it comes to election shenanigans, Chicago has been accused of just about everything.

But invisible ink?

Twenty voters at a Far North Side precinct who found their ink pens not working were told by election judges not to worry.

It's invisible ink, officials said. The scanner will count it.

But their votes weren't recorded after all.

"Part of me was thinking it does sound stupid enough to be true,'' said Amy Carlton, who had serious doubts but went ahead and voted anyway.

As it turns out, Carlton was one of 20 voters at the precinct who were given the wrong pen to use. They were also then told, apparently by a misinformed judge, that the pens have invisible ink, elections officials said.

Wow.

Whoever told the voters it was invisible should have to answer for this. And whoever was STUPID enough to believe that, well, I was going to say has no business voting, but...that's not my place to say. I'll just leave it at if they believed it, they're awfully damn stupid.

Proof that my theory that everybody shouldn't have the right to vote is valid.

Do you every go into Chucky Cheese? They stamp you with invisible ink that only shows up under a certain light. And there is something else that uses invisible ink. Give me a minute to think of it.

The poll workers should be charged with something. Would this be like voter fraud?

What do you mean it's non of your business?! This moron is about to do something that may effect you and your family for the rest of your lives and they don't have enough sense to come in out of the rain.:bowrofl:I've told stories here about my best friend in HS. Straight A's and B's but no, none, nada, nil, zippo, common sense. He was worth a million laughs over the years. I'm still ashamed of the crap I pulled on him for my entertainment. But it was funny.:smt023
