Illinois voters head to the polls next week to cast critical primary ballots for offices from U.S. president to county recorder. Ahead of the contests, a government watchdog group teamed up with a Chicago information technology company to examine voter records and Census data over four elections, an analysis they say hasn’t been as easily accessible to the public before now.

- The “Tiger King”‘ Joe Exotic whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage is throwing his hat in the ring for president.
- Joe is currently serving a 21-year federal sentence after being convicted on multiple charges, but that isn’t going to stop him from running for the nation’s top office.
- In a new campaign website launched he said, “Thank you for your interest in my Campaign. Yes, I know I am in Federal Prison and you might think this is a joke but it’s not. It is my Constitutional right to do this even from here.”
- He continued saying, “So put aside that I am gay, that I am in prison for now, that I used drugs in the past, that I had more then one boyfriend at once and that Carole hates my guts. This all has not a thing to do with me being able to be your voice.”
- Would you vote for Joe Exotic? What celebrity would you vote for if they ran for President?
