"Mail-in Ballots Tighten Cook County State's Attorney Race"
TL;DR
In the race for Cook County state's attorney, Eileen O’Neill Burke's lead over Clayton Harris III has been reduced to less than half a percentage point as mail-in ballots continue to be counted, with Harris gaining ground and narrowing the gap. Burke currently leads by 2,015 votes, with thousands of mail-in ballots still outstanding in both the city and suburbs. The close race, seen as a referendum on incumbent Kim Foxx's progressive policies, has yet to produce a winner, and both campaigns are closely monitoring the vote count process.
