Springfield, IL. (ECWd) –
A motion to reconsider a previous decision of the Illinois State Board of Elections to fine the Mautino campaign and close the complaint was filed.
The board met this morning, and with a 4-4 vote the motion did not pass.
This vote was on party lines: Democrats voting Nay and Republicans voting Aye.
This board has failed the public once again by refusing to answer the original complaint.

Posted at 07:28h, 21 JuneThanks Mike for Board Member names. I am sure the 4-4 vote was split down party lines and not based on the mountain of evidentiary material presented to the Board of Elections. What a travesty of justice. No sense in having any laws if they are not applied to everyone equally – Frank Mautino included.

Posted at 13:13h, 20 JuneFirst, is there a record of those that voted in favor of a review and those that voted in opposition?
At least 4 members need to be dismissed and replaced. It is likely not possible, but someone needs to take this matter to Court. Even a 5th grader could see the scheme which was presented in evidentiary form to this Board. I think Mike Madigan and Mautino are best friends – and this is just more of Illinois corruption. Are there a few good men any more?
