EDWARDSVILLE – Anxious Democrats await results of a state law that in effect suppresses two-thirds of Madison County voters from participating in this year’s judicial elections.

EDWARDSVILLE - Madison County Clerk Debbie Ming-Mendoza confirmed that 160 ballots for registered voters living in portions of Edwardsville Precinct 3 were erroneously coded as being within the bounds of Judicial Subcircuit 1, and that a "handful" of early voters or mail voters were incorrectly allowed to vote in the circuit court judge races.
