#3 Bullet vote explained: in Illinois we had, at one time, 59 legislative districts, from which we elected one senator and two legislators. When you voted for the House, you got three votes, which you could apply as you wished -- all to one candidate or split as you want between two or three candidates. The Doinks and the Pubs would each (generally) put up two candidates for each district. This was the 'bullet' vote, and you could vote three times for the same person legally!

Of course, if you lived in Chicago your precinct captain managed to collect all the unused bullet votes and put them to good use.
