Discovery recount in Peoria mayoral race pushed back

Midwest Communications PEORIA, Ill. The discovery recount for the Peoria mayoral race scheduled to be held Tuesday has been delayed after candidate Jim Montelongo requested information on ballot applications and voter affidavits. Montelongo lost the April 6 election to fellow Peoria City Council Member Rita Ali with 8,197 votes to Ali’s 8,240, according to official results from the Peoria County Election Commission. The applications and affidavits Montelongo requested are for precincts already requested in a petition for the discovery recount. Montelongo’s request pushes back the recount to 9 a.m. May 10. The Peoria County Election Commission said it will need roughly three days to gather the paper work.

Peoria elections: Jim Montelongo unsure if he ll challenge mayoral win

PEORIA    Jim Montelongo is taking a wait and see approach on his decision whether to challenge Rita Ali s 43-vote win in the city s mayoral race in court. I can t tell you what our next steps are yet as we have to see what happens next week, Montelongo told the Journal Star as he was cleaning out his desk in the City Council chambers after Tuesday night s meeting. By that, he s referring to the results of a discovery recount Tuesday  the same day Ali will be inaugurated  to determine whether to take the next step and bring a court challenge. If he chooses to, it s not expected to upend the planned inauguration ceremony for Ali and the five district council members. A far-tighter result in the Decatur area in 2018 was taken to court, and it didn t affect the swearing-in of the declared winner there, though that case is still ongoing.

Montelongo Files For Discovery Recount Of Peoria Mayoral Votes

Zoom Peoria mayoral candidate Jim Montelongo filed a discovery recount request with the Peoria County Election Commission on Monday afternoon, shortly before the statutory deadline. On final count, Montelongo came just 43 votes short of claiming victory over Rita Ali in the closely-contested race to succeed outgoing Mayor Jim Ardis. Montelongo previously forecasted his move for a discovery recount in an April 20 press release. The recount could be used as part of a later court action to formally contest the election results if Montelongo chooses to go that route. The candidate has alleged the election commission mishandled mail-in ballots arriving after April 6, but the election commission defends its practices.
