The Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office responded to nine Election Day complaints, around half of which were related to electioneering activity, officials announced Wednesday. The complaints were made on Election Day on Nov. 5 through the Kane County General Election Complaint Hotline, according to a news release from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office. “I commend our office’s assistant state’s attorneys for their diligent efforts to field and respond to all complaints received on the Election Day hotline,” Kane County State’s Attorney Jamie Mosser said in the release. “In addition, I would like to thank the Kane County Sheriff’s Office and local law enforcement agencies for being proactive on Election Day and offering valuable support across the county.” One caller complained about an election judge promoting political material, and the State’s Attorney’s Office responded by informing the polling place’s head election judge of the incident, the release said. A polling place called to report electioneering within a campaign free zone and a voter refusing to remove campaign clothing, so assistant state’s attorneys responded to the polling place, according to the release. When they arrived, one of the issues had already concluded, but they discussed electioneering laws with those remaining and resolved the situation, officials said. A third caller reported being asked to remove a campaign T-shirt within a polling place, so assistant state’s attorneys informed the caller of laws regarding electioneering, the release said. Another caller asked about laws around the distribution of election material at polling places, so assistant state’s attorneys explained electioneering laws and campaign free zone requirements with the caller, officials said. A fifth caller complained that election judges were wearing lanyards listing political party affiliations, so assistant state’s attorneys told the caller that the lanyards were issued in order to notify voters that there were election judges of both parties present in each polling location, according to the release. A sixth caller complained that they were required to fill out their party affiliation when completing their ballot application, officials said. Assistant state’s attorneys contacted the election judges at that polling place and confirmed their understanding that no such party affiliation was required during a general election, the release said. The seventh caller was a poll watcher who alleged that election judges were treating poll watchers of different political parties differently, according to the release. Assistant state’s attorneys reached out to the election judges at the polling place and discussed poll watchers’ rights and responsibilities, officials said. An eighth caller said that she had heard a race was missing from some ballots, but assistant state’s attorneys confirmed with the election authority that the voters whose names and addresses were provided did have the race on those ballots, officials said. The same caller also complained that one voting machine had been out of order and was closed down, but the election authority confirmed that the voting machine had been repaired and confirmed that no ballots were invalidated or affected by the outage, the release said. The last complaint was made by two voters about being required to show identification in order to vote, so assistant state’s attorneys spoke with election judges and reminded them that identification is not required in order to vote, according to the release.
