IMHO since caregiving isn't a reason for getting an absentee ballot, Cook County

Y'know I called and ASKED them about this and they implied that it

turned down. I will be so upset if something happens and I can't vote.

Anyway - just change your reason for wanting an absentee ballot. Say you

are going out of town or something!!!

Good luck!

there will be enough DEAD people voting to make up for our absence!!! <g>
