Oswego 308 Election Too Close to Call, Problems at Kane County Clerk's Office

Update, 8:50 a.m.

Kane County did not have any Oswego 308 voters so the total is as below. However, due to the close count (3 votes) Patch is witholding announcing the fourth board member until confirmation. We will keep you posted as we hear information.

Original

If there was a race in Oswego that came to a nail-biter, the Oswego 308 board of education would be it.

Computer problems at the Kane County Clerk's Office have left the votes inconclusive, as 0 percent of voters have reported in, according to their website. 

Six candidates are vying for four seats on the board, one of which must be filled by an unincorporated candidate.

The three candidates with large leads include Matthew Bauman with 2,341, Danielle Paul with 2,034 and Gregory O'Neil with 1,871, who hails from an unincorporated area

Just three votes seperate the next two contestants. Bradley Schulz has 1,701 and Mike McDowell has 1,698.

Eva Renee Powers rounds out the group with a total of 1,387.

The referendum, which asks if board members should be elected at large without restriction by area of residence within the District, is narrowly winning with an approval of 1,889 to 1,616.

All of these unofficial votes do not include Kane County numbers.  

Patch will update when those numbers become available.
