Longtime Glendale Heights president takes election fight to federal court Linda Jackson

Glendale Heights on Thursday night was poised to swear in a new village president for the first time in more than 20 years.
But the election that made Chodri Khokhar village president is not over in the eyes of two other candidates, including the longtime incumbent, Linda Jackson.
Mike Ontiveroz has requested a partial recount of the official results from the April 6 election that show Khokhar defeating him by only two votes.
And Jackson, who had served as village president since 1999, has filed a federal lawsuit after her reelection bid was cut short because the Illinois Supreme Court removed her name from the ballot.
