"Mail-In Ballots Shift State's Attorney Race in Eileen O'Neill Burke's Favor"

Eileen O’Neill Burke holds a slight lead over Clayton Harris III in the Cook County state’s attorney race, with 84% of the vote counted and about 109,000 mail-in ballots outstanding. Both candidates are waiting for the remaining votes to be tallied before commenting on the election's outcome. The winner will face Republican Bob Fioretti and Libertarian Andrew Charles Kopinski in the November general election. The race has been marked by a contentious and often negative primary, with O’Neill Burke seeking to distance herself from incumbent Kim Foxx and Harris signaling he would carry on or expand several of Foxx’s policies.
