After losing the Glendale Heights village president race by just two votes, Mike Ontiveroz says he is pursuing a partial recount of the election results.
Days after the April 6 election, unofficial results showed Ontiveroz with a 57-vote lead over Chodri Ma Khokhar. But Khokhar gained ground as vote-by-mail ballots came in.

They were supposed to have gone public Monday, but it took extra time for the feds to redact much of the information. The filing is 227 pages.
