"Vote Count Error Trims Lead in Cook County State's Attorney Race"

Retired Appellate Judge Eileen O’Neill Burke's lead over Clayton Harris III in the Democratic primary for Cook County state’s attorney has narrowed to less than 1,700 votes as the counting of mail-in ballots continues. Harris, the county Democratic party’s endorsed candidate, has been gaining ground, and the race remains too close to call. The winner will be the favorite in the heavily Democratic Cook County and will face Republican nominee Bob Fioretti in the November general election. Both campaigns are closely monitoring the processing and counting of mail-in ballots, with thousands of outstanding ballots yet to be tallied.

"Uncounted Ballots Tighten Cook County State's Attorney Race"

The race for Cook County state’s attorney tightened to just 2,000 votes as city election officials acknowledged a mail-in ballot miscalculation, with retired Appellate Justice Eileen O’Neill Burke holding a slight lead over Clayton Harris III. The Chicago Board of Elections initially reported an incorrect number of mail-in ballots, leading to confusion and frustration for both campaigns. The weekend tallying was done under the watchful eye of attorneys and poll watchers from both campaigns, with approximately 47,000 outstanding mail-in ballots in the city. The winner will be the favorite in the November general election against Republican Bob Fioretti.

"Close Race and Ballot Mistake: Cook County State's Attorney Election Update"

The Chicago Board of Elections has acknowledged an error in the unofficial vote count for the Democratic primary race for Cook County state's attorney, with over 10,000 vote-by-mail ballots mistakenly left out. Eileen O'Neill Burke is currently leading Clayton Harris III by nearly 4,800 votes, and the counting process is ongoing with the expectation of a winner before the April 2 deadline for late-arriving ballots. Regardless of the tight race, Illinois law does not mandate an automatic recount, but the losing candidate within 5% of the winner can request one.
