Election complaint spotlights need for training on who is authorized to handle machines
CHICAGO — The Lake County Election Board Saturday said they will use complaints filed against a Dyer man serving as a deputy election commissioner in November stemming from his actions on Election Day as a teachable moment for election workers.
Five election workers filed complaints in January against Kyle Rizzo, whom they alleged failed to display credentials other than an identification badge before walking up to voting machines and appearing to touch buttons in multiple polling places. After hearing testimony and discussing the matter at length, officials moved to dismiss the complaints and improve training.
