GOP Leaders Urge Attorney General to Oversee Champaign County Elections

Republican leaders are urging Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul to step in after ballot errors surfaced in Champaign County. House Republican Leader Tony McCombie and state GOP Chairman Bob Grogan say the county clerk issued hundreds of early voting and mail-in ballots with incorrect district information. The Center Square reports at least 600 ballots were misprinted, and at least 60 were already cast with errors. The mistake reportedly swapped candidate choices for the 103rd and 104th Illinois House races, placing them before voters in the wrong districts. Republicans say independent oversight is needed to protect confidence in the ballot process.
