"2024 Cook County State's Attorney Race Too Close to Call"

The race for the Democratic Party's nominee for Cook County State's Attorney in Illinois remains too close to call, with Eileen O'Neill Burke holding a narrow lead over Clayton Harris. With 99% of precincts reporting, they are separated by roughly 9,000 votes, and mail-in ballots are still being processed. The Chicago Board of Elections expects a clearer picture by the weekend, and noted shockingly low voter turnout of only 20% of registered voters in Chicago. The race is closely watched as both candidates seek to replace incumbent Kim Foxx, with former Ald. Bob Fioretti as the lone Republican on the ballot and Andrew Charles Kopinski representing the Libertarian party in November.
