A special prosecutor going to be used, in regard to a dispute over a central Illinois Sheriff’s race, which ended with a one-vote victory. A judge looked at the case on Tuesday, where he approved a Macon County State’s Attorney’s request to the Illinois Attorney General’s Office, in order to appoint a special prosecutor, to help provide legal advice to the county, its clerk and to Democratic Sheriff Tony Brown. The county’s Republican Party asked the clerk on Monday to reverse the general election results, where Brown defeated Republican Jim Root by a single vote. There were over 39,000 votes that were casted during this past election. The GOP argues that the two uncounted ballots, both for Root, should have counted towards the race. Brown took office officially on Saturday and has said that he views the election results as final, and will continue to serve as the county sheriff unless the court tells him otherwise.
