Jan. 27 Huntley Tea Party meeting
Ensuring election Integrity in Illinois Luncheon Meeting. Join us on Jan. 27!
On Friday, Jan. 27th, the Huntley Tea Party meeting will feature a presentation on Election Integrity. Guest speakers will be Jane Carrell and Carol Davis, leaders of the Illinois Tea Party Election Integrity Team. How prevalent is voter fraud, and what can we citizens do to ensure free and fair elections? There is ample evidence that this is a bi-partisan problem since both parties engage in voter fraud.
Our guest speakers will present six initiatives that can ensure integrity in our elections, and attendees will find out how they can get involved.
Some of the topics that will be addressed include: registering voters and helping to clean up the voter rolls, making sure deployed military troops have their votes counted, and proper procedures at the polls. The group believes that Americans of good will and of all political persuasions will step forward to be part of this non-partisan effort to ensure that every honest vote is honored.
The meeting will be held at the Golden Corral, 1591 S. Randall Road in Algonquin. Attendees meet for lunch at 12:30pm and the presentation will follow. If you’re a senior you will receive a reduced price, including beverage for $7.29. If you are not a senior, the special price w/beverage is $7.89.

Ensuring Election Integrity in Illinois Luncheon
Huntley, Illinois ― On Friday, Jan. 27, the Huntley Tea Party meeting will feature a presentation on Election Integrity. Guest speakers will be Jane Carrell and Carol Davis, leaders of the Illinois Tea Party Election Integrity Team. In the state where the phrase, “Vote early, vote often” was conceived, many suspect that election fraud is a problem in some Illinois counties. It may involve a small number of counties, but those may have dictated the outcome of Illinois elections. How prevalent is this problem, and what can the average citizen do to ensure free and fair elections? This is a bipartisan problem since both parties engage in vote fraud. Our guest speakers will present six initiatives that can ensure integrity in our elections, and attendees will find out how they can get involved.
Some of the topics that will be addressed include registering voters and helping to clean up the voter rolls, making sure deployed military troops have their votes counted and proper procedures at the polls.
