Where's the state?

Now that the election is over, will the state of Illinois step into the St. Clair County Board election for the District 25 County Board seat and disqualify the results?

According to Illinois state law, in order for the Good Government Party of Cahokia to qualify as a party, it must field a full slate of candidates. That did not happen as the Good Government Party of Cahokia consisted of two -- Curtis McCall Sr. and Curtis McCall Jr. Oh, and I almost forgot, two people who pleaded guilty to vote fraud -- Kevin Wiggins and Trevon Tompkin --electioneered for McCall Jr.

If nothing happens, then Cahokia politics is becoming East St. Louis politics.
