It would definitely be a nightmare if we won. He's a charter school chud as well. Saw some people drilling down into the results by precinct who seem to think that Brandon Johnson can pick up enough of what Lightfoot and Chuy Garcia got to beat him. Hopefully that's true and not just wishful thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricofoley Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Runoff election was today. Vallas has an early lead, but it sounds like nobody knows what parts of the city have been counted yet. Saw something earlier today suggesting that the youth vote was turning out more than in the February election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 538: ”Johnson now leads Vallas by 0.2 points, 50.1 percent to 49.9 percent, based on about 484,000 votes cast per the Chicago Board of Elections. AP and Decision Desk HQ are estimating around 80 to 85 percent of the vote has reported, and since we know that the final absentee votes could be better for Johnson, this is a pretty notable turn of events. Still, it’s too close to call!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
