One vote doesn't count?

Who says that one vote doesn't count? I'll bet some of the people in Island Lake are kicking themselves about now.

The race for the third open seat on the Village Board is tied between Chuck Cermak and Allen Murvine. The race involves McHenry and Lake Counties, and apparently all the votes, including late-arriving absentee and provisional ballots, have been counted.

And the winner is? It's a tie!

The Daily Herald had this to say: "According to the unofficial results:
Fox placed first with 635 votes;
Morris was second with 617 votes;
Cermak and Murvine were tied at 576;
Mary Piekarski had 557 votes; and
Joe Ptak had 522 votes.
Apparently, state law requires the decision to be made by a coin toss. The catty remarks have already started. Does the state law say who is to toss the coin? The date for the toss has not yet been set. It will be very carefully watched and, no doubt, taped by many recorders.
