A Chicago voter is being treated for serious injuries suffered when a hit-and-run driver slammed into him outside a polling place on the city's South Side.
Authorities aren't identifying the man who was hit as he entered the polling place on South Archer Avenue. Chicago Board of Elections spokesman Jim Allen says the victim flew into the air and landed on the car before the driver sped off.
An emergency room worker at Mount Sinai Hospital says the victim is in guarded condition.
An elections investigator chased the driver and took down his license plate number as he sped through red lights. Allen says two men are in police custody.
