Chicago Board of Elections Chairman Langdon Neal on counting votes, false robo-calls

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago Board of Elections Chairman Langdon Neal is hoping all city election judges show up Tuesday morning after what he said were false robo-calls directed to South and West side judges over the weekend.

Neal said one call asked judges to attend an additional training session, the second call told judges they serve for one political party and they must vote the same party. The chairman said they have tried to contact thousands of election judges to alert them about the false calls. However, for some it is too late.

"This is new for us. We have not seen robo-calls used to spread misinformation to our judges. This is a new one, at least in my 18 years here," Neal said.
