LETTER: High schools were overwhelmingly 'No' on November 20. Did elementary schools offset that with huge 'Yes' vote?

Substance:

Chicago's Paul Robeson High School (above) reportedly voted overwhelmingly "No" in the November 20 CTU referenda, but between the school's vote and the vote count by Marilyn Stewart's United Progressive Caucus (UPC) stalwarts at the union's office, Robeson was "counted out" with no explanation — and no vote totals reported for Robeson. Whenever the UPC has controlled the Chicago Teachers Union's Rules-Elections committee, accidents such as the "lost ballots" of Robeson are common. Once, the votes from Lane Technical High School disappeared. This time, a dozen high schools — all of which were actively opposing Marilyn Stewart — saw their votes either not counted or radically changed from the time they left the school until the time they were announced. Substance photo by George N. Schmidt.I compiled the results from the high schools for the November 20 referenda into an Excel spreadsheet, and they show that the high schools, even with all the omissions, voted overwhelmingly 'No.' Is someone checking the elementary schools the same way?
