Chicago Democrat: Yes, the old party machine is stealing the election
from WND:
‘They just want to beat Donald Trump at all costs’
Rod Blagojevich said Friday that as a Democrat born in Chicago who served in Congress and as governor of Illinois, it’s clear to him that the old Democratic machine in key battleground states is trying to steal the election from Donald Trump.
“If the question is are the Democrats stealing votes in Philadelphia,” he said in a Newsmax TV interview, “my answer is, is the pope Catholic?”

Blagojevich said it’s a “time-honored tradition in Democrat-controlled cities like Chicago, my hometown, Philadelphia, to do precisely what they’re doing.”
But he believes the corruption is much wider in the 2020 election.
“Coming out of Chicago Democratic politics, my instincts are it’s going on in Atlanta, it’s going on Detroit, it’s going on in Milwaukee, it’s going on in Las Vegas,” he said.
Skeptics of Blagojevich’s view of the election will point to the fact that Trump commuted his 14-year prison sentence on corruption charges. Blagojevich, who contends he went to prison because he took on the infamous Chicago Democratic machine, has said he will be forever grateful to Trump, calling himself a “Trump-ocrat.”
He told Newsmax TV, borrowing from Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s famous line about pornography, that election corruption is hard to define, but you know it when you see it.
“Coming out of the Chicago political establishment, I know how they operate,” he said. “They control polling places, they stop votes when their candidate’s behind, and then in the wee hours of the morning, in the dark of night, the stealing starts,” he said.
“And we’ve seen that in unprecedented numbers in this election in Michigan, in Philadelphia.”
Blagojevich said it’s “outrageous, and the fact that they’re doing it with the impunity that they’re doing it with, is because the media is simply looking the other way.”
“They just want to beat Donald Trump at all costs. And they’re not just stealing from Donald Trump, they’re stealing from the us, the American people,” he said.
