The unsuccessful challenger in last Tuesday's 49th Ward aldermanic runoff has sued to have the election results reversed, arguing the votes in 22 precincts should be excluded.
Don Gordon filed a lawsuit Monday in Cook County Circuit Court asking that he be declared the winner and incumbent Ald. Joe Moore the loser in the April 17 contest. Gordon's complaint contends that because "the fraudulent votes cannot be separated from the honest votes" in 22 precincts, none of the votes from those precincts should be counted.
The suit names Moore as a defendant, along with Chicago and Illinois election commissioners.
