Concerns exist over potential rejected primary ballots

Under a 2007 state election law being enforced for the first time, voting machines will reject ballots if someone fails to vote in one or more races for statewide office. Voters must then explain to an election judge whether they meant to leave part of their ballot blank before it's approved.

Illinois is the only state that requires undervote alerts….

It isn't clear just what McHenry County's decision to ignore the law means, University of Illinois adjunct law professor Deanna Mool said, but it's possible it could create questions about the outcome of tight races….Champaign County judge denied his[Champaign County Clerk’s] request for an injunction ahead of Tuesday's election.
