Board votes to dismiss complaint in Agenda Item 29 and refer it to attorney general
Summary
The State Board of Elections voted to dismiss a complaint tied to Agenda Item 29 for lack of jurisdiction and referred the matter to the Illinois Attorney General and the relevant state's attorney after a roll-call vote (6–2).
The State Board of Elections voted to dismiss a complaint tied to Agenda Item 29 for lack of jurisdiction and to refer the matter to the Illinois Attorney General and the appropriate state's attorney.
A staff presenter asked the board for a motion "to dismiss the complaint for lack of jurisdiction, but to refer the matter to the attorney general and office of" the state's attorney, prompting a motion and a second on the floor. The clerk conducted a roll call: Beller Croft, Craig, Annavezzi, Brett, Watson and Vice Chair Turban voted yes; McCrory and Chair Donahue voted no. "Motion passes," the clerk announced after the tally.
The motion disposes of the complaint at the board level on jurisdictional grounds and directs prosecutorial authorities to review the matter; board members did not adopt any remedial action beyond referral. The board did not call for additional briefing or set further deadlines on the record.
