"Chicago's Cook County State's Attorney Race Tightens as Mail Ballots Delay Results"

The Democrat primary election for the Cook County State’s Attorney in Chicago has tightened after the Chicago Board of Elections "mistakenly left out" over 9,000 mail-in ballots, reducing the lead of a tough-on-crime Democrat over her progressive opponent from over 10,000 votes to about 2,000. The ballots were added to the count on Friday and Saturday, with the CBOE attributing the error to a mistake in reporting. The race is closely watched as the candidates differ on prosecuting shoplifting and considering race during sentencing.
