CHICAGO (WBBM) -- Chicago election authorities have seen extremely heavy turnout today and the typical election complaints such as late poll openings, malfunction machines and issues with voter registration.
They also have removed three election judges.
Chairman of the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners Langdon Neal says one judge was drunk, one was being abusive and one was impersonating an election judge.
He says someone in the 51st precinct in the 17th ward showed up and claimed to be appointed by a ward committeemen.
Neal says the other judges became suspicious, called the board and learned the person was NOT a real judge.
