E. Chicago, Indiana, Democrat machine finally ousted

Talk about lengthy post-election litigation - the May 2003 Democrat primary was ordered to be re-held this week due to fraud the first time around. This time, the 33-year incumbent mayor couldn't steal his way to victory.

9-term mayor concedes in E. Chicago: "The 76-year-old [Mayor Robert] Pastrick was unseated Tuesday by challenger George Pabey in a special primary election forced by Pabey's court challenge to the results of a primary held 17 months earlier."
