Voting Tuesday required signing on an electronic key pad that had no place to rest the palm of your hand. For us seniors that suffer from tremors, this presents a real problem in producing a readable signature. According to the poll worker, signature verification can be used to validate legitimate ballots. Just another reason to use voter ID card verification.

On Election Day, I received in the mail the last three weeks of the Will County Gazette, you know, the paper that highlights the Illinois Democrats activity and prompted the Democrat Party to send out mailers denouncing the paper. Well, it seems to me the papers were withheld from delivery so voters could not read them. I think this should be looked into.

Our nation is doomed with the current trend of voting for the killing of the unborn, unprotected borders, high taxes, gas shortages, making heroes of the sexual immoral and all the other policies that are destroying this country. History is being repeated and we are the modern-day Rome.

When I voted, Roe v. Wade, crime, inflation and gas prices did not enter the equation. My number one priority was to vote for the candidates who would fight to preserve our democracy and republic against the candidates who would seek to destroy it by spreading lies and propaganda about our free and fair elections. I voted Democrat up and down the ballot and was proud to see so many people in Illinois and nationally do the same. God bless America. the greatest country on earth.

Adele, sorry for your bad purchase. There is a little magazine you should often check, Consumer Reports. I use it regularly, especially when making major purchases such as appliances and autos, and have rarely been disappointed. The reason there are so many imported appliances is the fault of the manufacturers off shoring their products and the customers, who want cheap products.

To Adele of Palos Heights, the conclusion I draw is that you, like many Americans, want USA made quality products at Chinese made prices. That will not happen as in the U.S. we pay a living wage. You could have bought an Amana product made in Iowa, but it probably cost more.
