David Krupa is a college freshman who attends DePaul University and drives a forklift part time. He ran for alderman of the 13th ward. But his young age isn't the most impressive thing about this story.
Rather, it is the way that the political machine of the 13th ward swatted him like a bug. To get on the ballot, Krupa needed 473 valid signatures and he got 1,703. Before he could turn in his signatures, a group of political workers went around asking residents to sign affadavits, revoking their signatures. More than 2,700 revocations were turned in, more than the total amount of signatures. Revocations are serious legal documents and lying on them is perjury which is a felony.
