County Leaves Kathy Salvi’s Name off Illinois Ballot for U.S. Senate

Republican Kathy Salvi’s name was mistakenly left off the list of candidates for U.S. Senate on hundreds of ballots in one Illinois county, prompting local officials to sequester all ballots that had been returned by early voters thus far in the 2022 midterm elections.

Some early voters have already cast their ballots in Schuyler County, Illinois, despite Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kathy Salvi’s name not being listed as a choice. Instead of Salvi’s name, the name of her defeated primary opponent Peggy Hubbard is listed on the ballot as an option. Salvi won the seven-way Republican primary on June 28 by a significant margin.

Salvi, who seeks to unseat the incumbent Democrat Sen. Tammy Duckworth, is demanding accountability, claiming that the proposed remedial efforts do “not solve the most pressing problem of election integrity and transparency” and that voters have “been potentially disenfranchised.” She noted that the issue was brought to her attention on October 11.

Schuyler County, in the rural western part of the state, is a predominantly Republican area; foul play is not yet suspected.

[MCSETots]

Why does it seem that this kind of crap only happens to Republicans? ? ?

[Nathan _in_Arkansas]

Did this save our democracy?

Mistakes like this should be punished with prison sentences and very high fines. This isn’t the first time that names have been left off the ballot. There are zero excuses. Just goes to show the quality of government employees.

Doesn’t matter. They would all vote for the Dem anyways...................115%.................

More shenannagins.

Every “mistaken” ballot should be counted as a vote for Salvi.

...foul play is not yet suspected.

[Leep]

The polls probably had her losing anyhow ..

[glennaro]

“Ballot mistakes” like this tend to go in only one direction ...

It is beginning to appear that most third-world nations are more capable of conducting elections than many parts of the U.S.

[Luke21]

Mistakes in the census. Mistakes in ballots. Mistakes in counting...On and on, favoring the same bunch.

[God luvs America]

Yes- just like the 30,000+ voter registration forms “mistakenly” sent to illegals in Colorado.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

They're getting more brazen. Leaving the candidate off the ballot? It's like a Russian Annexation Referendum- only option is Vote Yes.

IIRC, Rush used to say, “there are no mistakes”.

[Revel]

If the GOP cared in the slightest then they would seek criminal charges for these kinds of things.

Even if it can’t be proved that it was intentional there is always criminal negligence.
