Looks like Chicago found a stash of "trunk ballots" to help the Democrat win
the race. Who's surprised?

Funny how these last minute ballots found in someone's trunk or in a closet
or wherever absolutely never favor the Republican candidate, isn't it?

 

That was a few days ago. Those were mail-in ballots that were NOT
mishandled, and would have included both Democratic and Republican
primary ballots. They failed to aggregate the votes properly cast on
those ballots with the interim total announced Saturday.

 

It has nothing to do with thwarting the Republican nominee. We already
know whom the nominee is. Bob Fioretti ran unopposed. Also, it's a former
alderman so it's not like you'd have voted for him.

 

Burke vs. Harris is a race for the Democratic Party nomination. Burke is
simply willing to prosecute offenders based on the state criminal code
threshold for low-level felony charges and Harris wants to continue
Foxx's policy of letting first-time arrestees off the hook for low level
felonies. They weren't far apart on other issues.

 

Fioretti won't be all that different from Burke.

 

So in this case, the trunk ballots will favor the candidate who's the
most 'progressive' lunatic of the two Democrats.

 Would you withdraw the paranoia?

AP projected Burke, who is willing to
prosecute retail theft if over $300 as a felony (as the criminal code
says), to be the nominee of the Democratic Party. Harris lost. It's not
felt that there are enough mail-in votes to be counted that would allow
Harris to take the lead. Votes postmarked by primary election day and
receive by Tuesday will be counted.
