* Remember Moon Khan? He\u2019s the guy who ran<\/a> as a write-in for DuPage County recorder, but was initially denied a victory after a bunch of votes weren\u2019t counted. The DuPage Election Commission found 170 votes yesterday after a court-ordered recount, so he\u2019ll be on the November ballot.<\/p>\n

The Daily Herald is not amused<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

The DuPage Election Commission needs to investigate its processes and training of judges further and make significant changes before it runs another Election Night debacle as it did on March 15. It\u2019s already been criticized for its slowness in counting ballots, and now it\u2019s clear that judges erred in several write-in contests. [\u2026]<\/p>\n

An earlier vote recount resulted in two Republican precinct committeeman write-in candidates also being declared winners. [\u2026]<\/p>\n

Couple these errors with the need to investigate new technology to help speed up counting, and it\u2019s clear that the election commission needs to get to work to improve it\u2019s one main job.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
