Come on?

“ A tough-on-crime Democrat was leading her progressive opponent by more than 10,000 votes on Election Day in the Democrat primary election for the second-largest prosecutor’s office in the nation. But the former judge is now leading by only about 2,000 votes after the Chicago Board of Elections (CBOE) “mistakenly left out” more than 9,000 mail-in ballots in their count of ballots received by Election Day.

“Approximately 9,143 Vote By Mail additional ballots” that were allegedly not included in the original tally were counted on Friday and Saturday, helping to tighten the Cook County State’s Attorney primary race. Eileen O’Neill Burke was leading Clayton Harris III by less than 5,000 votes on Saturday, and that lead had shrunk to roughly 2,000 votes by Monday, according to the Associated Press. O’Neill Burke initially had a roughly 10,000 vote lead on Election Day, the Chicago Tribune reported.

“In adding up the total number of Vote By Mail ballots the Board had received back so far, I mistakenly left out additional ballots that had been received back via USPS the evening of Mon, 3/18,” a statement from CBOE spokesman Max Bever said.”

Much ado about nothing. No ballots were mysteriously found. They were there all along. They just weren’t included in the count of ballots received.

But the most ridiculous part is calling Clayton Harris the progressive candidate. Harris is president of a union busting lobbying firm. He lobbies against unions
Membership, increases in the minimum wage, workers safety etc.

As for Burke, she did pledge to prosecute shoplifters. She also is open to non judicial options for. Non violent offenders such as drug intervention programs, community service, and such.

In any case, it’s almost certain Burke is going to win and that will be good for Cook County.
