— DuPage Election Commission boss: We failed the public – Robert Sanchez
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20180404/dupage-election-commission-boss-we-failed-the-public
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The leader of the board that oversees the DuPage Election Commission offered to resign after the blunder that delayed the release of election results for hours during last month’s primary. Cathy Ficker Terrill, chairwoman of the election commission board, said Wednesday a vendor “made a terrible mistake” when it provided faulty ballot-like cards needed to close DuPage’s optical scan voting machines. . .While the commission is considering possible legal action against the vendor, Ficker Terrill said she takes personal responsibility for what happened. “The election commission failed the public,” Ficker Terrill said. “I take ownership of that. I willingly accept the blame for the error.” She said she offered her resignation to the man who appointed her to the three-person panel, county board Chairman Dan Cronin. So far, Cronin hasn’t responded. Ficker Terrill also read a formal apology during an election commission meeting on Tuesday.)
