Today on the Law Show my guest will be long-time Lake County Registrar of Voters Diane Fridley.
On June 8, in the frenzy of election night, Lake County news media, (including me) announced the final results of the hotly contested local races. As it turns out, we may have been a bit premature in doing so. In the days following the election, we learned that more than 3,000 provisional and absentee ballots are not yet included in the tally. Although the outcome of most races are not likely to change, the contest for Lake County District Attorney could be affected in a big way. With only a couple of hundred votes separating the candidates, it is possible that Doug Rhoades and Jon Hopkins could switch positions creating a very different runoff election in November.
To many of us the vote counting process is a mystery and hopefully some of your questions will be answered by my guest who has been in charge of making sure that Lake County”s elections are fair and accurate year after year.
