Neil Election Contest

UPDATE ON DAN NEIL ELECTION CONTEST

The Dan Neil campaign issued the following statement last night:

Monday was the last day of our hearing before the special master in our election contest in House District 48. Currently, we are down by 3 votes with a margin of error of 4 illegal voters. We also have voters who have lived outside the district for 2 years or more who voted in this election and voted for Donna Howard, while their voter registration was on suspense.

At this point, it is clear that we do not know who the winner of this election is. The only possible remedy is a new election.

The next step in the process is that Master Hartnett will report his findings to the committee by Friday. We will see what the Master reports and we will make a determination about our next step at that time. We intend to fight for this seat until the end.

Thank you for all your prayers and support.
