"Undecided: Cook County State's Attorney Race Remains Too Close to Call"

The Democratic primary race for Cook County state’s attorney remains tight as both candidates, Eileen O’Neill Burke and Clayton Harris III, refrain from declaring victory or conceding defeat, urging patience as mail-in ballots continue to be tabulated. O’Neill Burke holds a narrow lead over Harris, with outstanding mail-in votes expected to play a significant role in the final outcome. The winner will face former Chicago Alderman Bob Fioretti in the general election, with the potential to become the first Republican state's attorney in Cook County since 1992. The breakdown of voting preferences across different areas of Chicago reflects differing support for the candidates' approaches to criminal justice.
