If conventional wisdom holds true, state Sen. Dan Cronin picked up an extra 5 percent of the Republican votes Tuesday in his bid for the DuPage County Board Chairman's seat.
Cronin won a special lottery conducted by the DuPage Election Commission to determine which of the three GOP chairman candidates who were in line at 8 a.m. on the first day of filing for the Feb. 2, 2010 primary would be first on the ballot. Current District 4 county board member Debra Olson will be the second candidate on the ballot, and Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso will be third. State Sen. Carole Pankau will be listed last because she filed on the final day allowed.
