“It is so unfortunate that some people resort to such tactics, which serves only to undermine voter confidence,” Hays said. “The voters of Lake County should be assured that the Canvassing Board has certified the 2024 Primary Election Unofficial Results and there have been absolutely no problems with any aspect of the recently concluded election. Everything related to the election and the compilation of the results worked very well.”
