"On an otherwise slow Election Day in Chicago, there is now a second election judge who has been ousted from his post for being drunk.
It happened in the 11th Ward. An investigator from the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners went to the fire station at 3509 S Lowe Ave. and ejected a judge who 'smelled of booze.'
Earlier in the day, another judge was yanked for showing up to a polling place intoxicated.
In the 37th ward at the Jorge Prieto Math and Science Academy, another judge apparently spent part of the afternoon napping during voting, according to the board’s reports. Investigators got witness confirmation that the judge spent '45 minutes off to the side and not executing responsibilities.'
The judge was told that napping is not allowed."
