This is from Sykes Writes, regarding the recent leadership elections in the State Senate:

"Something doesn't add up here. Citizens for Responsible Government is conducting a 'RINO Watch,' and has surveyed members of the Republican caucus, asking them how they voted in the race between conservative Scott Fitzgerald and RINO Dale Schultz. So far, the following senators have said publicly - on the record - that they voted for Fitzgerald in Monday's secret ballot:

Fitzgerald
Stepp
Harsdorf
Grothman
Kanavas
Darling
Kedzie
Lazich
Reynolds
Leibham

Do the math. That's 10. There are 19 members of the GOP caucus. If they were all telling the truth, Fitzgerald would have been re-elected. He wasn't."

Sykes thinks somebody (or somebodies) must be lying, but I think the real explanation is probably much less sinister. They were probably using leftover butterfly ballots! They think they voted for Fitzgerald, but didn't follow the ballot correctly!

Where is Jesse Jackson when you need him?
