The ghost wins?

With 98.6 percent of the precincts reporting, Democrat Michelle Chavez has apparently pulled off a stunning upset over Rep. Frank Aguilar (R-Cicero), 53.2 to 46.8.

There’s gotta be a very weird story behind this one. Rep. Aguilar put Chavez into the race. She didn’t do anything. She won by 1,100 votes!

Chavez is related to Cicero’s Mayor, and he supported her candidacy to the max. Now that Cicero voters decided that their local races will be non-partisan, looks like the guy is a genius.

Frank Aguilar was the greatest representative in the history of Illinois politics. He was headed for the White House. Only in Cicero. We love you Frank.

Your buddy,
