DescriptionJohn Laesch, the Democrat who lost dual primary elections to Bill Foster last month, has formally asked for a recount of votes that could make him the party’s 14th Congressional District nominee for the November general election.

His challenge pertains only to the regular primary’s results that show a 398-vote win by Foster. The pair’s vote totals are within 5 percent of each other, making the tally eligible for a discovery recount. Laesch is asking for a discovery recount of 56 precincts in Kane, Kendall, DeKalb, Lee and Whiteside counties, as well as the Aurora Election Commission.

The recount must be completed by March 17.
