After losing the Glendale Heights village president race by just two votes, Mike Ontiveroz says he is pursuing a partial recount of the election results.
Days after the April 6 election, unofficial results showed Ontiveroz with a 57-vote lead over Chodri Ma Khokhar. But Khokhar gained ground as vote-by-mail ballots came in.
Now unofficial results show Khokhar with 475 votes and Ontiveroz with 473. The DuPage County clerk is scheduled to certify the results on Tuesday.
On Thursday, Ontiveroz said he has enlisted the help of attorney Andrew Finko to pursue a discovery recount.
