DuPage County Auditor Bill White has been declared the winner of the 2020 county auditor race, DuPage County Circuit Judge Craig Belford ruled Monday.
DuPage County Auditor Bill White is the winner of the 2020 county auditor race, DuPage County Circuit Judge Craig Belford ruled Monday. A narrow margin of votes separated White from incumbent Bob Grogan, who was county auditor from 2008 to 2020.
White, a Democrat, originally led by 75 votes in fall 2020. The court-ordered full recount of the race in October -- a first in DuPage County history -- that reduced his margin of victory to 58 votes, 232,710 votes for White and 232,652 for Grogan, a Republican seeking reelection. Belford did rule in favor of Grogan’s request that 69 unopened envelopes with ballots found during the recount not be counted. The 69 ballots had 36 votes for White, 26 votes for Grogan, and 7 with no auditor vote.
Another 19 vote-by-mail ballot envelopes postmarked after Election Day but counted were struck down by Belford. The envelopes no longer had the ballots in question and it would be impossible to determine who the voters picked for county auditor, he said.
