Request for recount in District 46 election By Michael Wamble and Robert Sanchez

Posted Tuesday, December 05, 2006 Democrat Joe Vosicky requested a recount Monday in his losing bid to replace Lee Daniels in the Illinois General Assembly’s 46th House District.
Vosicky said problems with voting machine computer chips and other possible irregularities surrounding the Nov. 7 election led him to make the request. Four weeks after the election, the margin between Vosicky and apparent Republican winner Dennis Reboletti, both of Elmhurst, is about 300 votes, with Vosicky at 13,183 and Reboletti at 13,482.
“In a district that is traditionally a Republican stronghold, the people went out of their way when they voted for me,” Vosicky said Monday. “In order to protect the integrity of the election and the people who voted for me, it is appropriate to ask for a discovery recount.” *snip*
The reason for the recount request, Vosicky said, come from questions over how and if votes recorded on computer chips were counted.
On Nov. 8, the day after the vote, DuPage County Election Commission Executive Director Robert Saar said there was a technical malfunction in tallying results from five precincts. Also, some election judges did not turn in 19 memory cards to be linked into the county’s database. Those votes were later tallied.
Vosicky has asked for 21 out of the 87 precincts to be recounted by hand.
By law, up to 25 percent of the precincts in a particular race can be examined as part of a partial recount.
