Ogle County election results are finally in and Tom Demmer has won the Illinois House 90th District race. A ballot reader programming error kept 43% of the votes in that race from being counted on election night. And there were 12,000 mail-in ballots to go through as well as the vote recount afterward. It took until yesterday for the Ogle County Clerk to report.
Demmer, the Dixon Republican incumbent, wins the race with more than 30,000 votes throughout the district. Dixon Democrat Seth Wiggins got about half as many.
