Buffalo Grove trustee candidate files motion to dismiss challenge Gowri Magati Updated 1/8/2021 7:08 PM The attorney for Buffalo Grove trustee candidate Gowri Magati has filed a motion to dismiss former Trustee Jeffrey Berman's challenge to her candidacy. The attorney, Matthew Flamm, filed the motion 15 minutes before Friday's hearing of the village electoral board, which will rule on the objection.
Berman alleges that Magati's petition contains signatures of people who are not registered voters in the village, duplicate signatures, and signatures that "are not genuine and do not match the official signatures" on file at the county clerk's office. He also maintains there are signatures that were not signed in the presence of the petition circulator, contrary to sworn certifications by Magati.
