An election contest would require hiring an election attorney and incurring substantial amounts of legal fees.
Currently, we are leaving all the options on the table. Any thoughts you all have on how we should proceeds are appreciated. (End of thread 5/5)
An election contest is a complaint filed with the court alleging that the official tally of the votes is incorrect. Evidence of errors would have to be presented and a case would need to be made to attempt to change the vote total certified by the Clerk. (4/?)
Once results are certified, any registered voter can request discovery recount, an opportunity (at $10/precinct) to have votes in 25% of precincts re-counted. Results of the discovery recount will not change the official tally but can become grounds for an election contest. (3/?)
Yesterday April 16th was the last day the Clerk accepted mail in ballots. From now until April 23rd the Clerk will do a 5% of precincts re-tabulation, correct any issues that are uncovered and certify the result of the Election on April 23rd.

Happy hump day everyone!
In what I suspect is as an intentional attempt to mess with my mental stability (kidding), the Cook County Clerk has not updated the vote totals since Friday of last week. I am currently 2 votes behind R. Rogers (2548 to 2550).

While we wait for the final outcome, I'd really appreciate anyone willing to provide feedback on our campaign to do so here https://t.co/jZY6wpVeaq
All feedback is anonymous (unless you want to leave your name) and will be used to help future local election candidates. (3/3)
We believe there are a handful of ballots that have not been included in the vote total yet, but we have no idea whether these ballots will change the outcome of the 3rd spot winner. (2/3)
Hi, everyone! Election results remain unchanged at 2548 for me & 2549 for Rogers. Cook Co. Clerk says not to expect further updates to online tally until Tues, April 16. The Clerk will stop accepting mail in ballots after that date and will certify the result on April 23rd (1/3)
Good morning everyone! The latest vote tally is 2548 votes for me and 2549 for R. Rogers. People have asked what happens if it’s a tie. I don’t know, but I hope it’s a dance-off 💃!
There is no change of vote coun,
still behind by 4 votes. Outstanding mail-in ballots may make it to Cook County clerk & change the vote total. They stop counting mail in ballots 4/16. Election results will be certified 4/23. Please continue to keep your fingers & toes crossed!
We are currently down by FOUR votes with an undetermined number of provisional and mail in ballots to be counted. Keep your fingers crossed and check back here for updates! ❤️ Yulia (3/3)
...Regardless of the actual outcome, I have won because this run enabled me to meet so many wonderful and inspiring people, and my life will be fuller because of that. (2/3)
I had to share this letter from my daughter with you all. I am totally and completely humbled by the outpouring of support and love. And that human connection is what matters the most to me. (1/3)
I am humbled and honored to have been the recipient of your contributions of time, talent and financial resources. As an all-volunteer newcomer campaign we did great! And none of this would have been possible without you - my family, my friends, my supporters. ❤️ (3/3)
This election was never about me as an individual. It was about giving Mount Prospect residents an option for a new perspective and new ideas. The team worked tirelessly to get our message out to voters! (2/3)
