  1. The City of Chicago returns, as of 7:51, show 67.4% of precincts reported in the Mayor’s race, yet for the Clerk’s race only 26.5% are in. I don’t get it. Most of the ward returns are in the 20-30% range as well. How could these fancy computers report one race but not the other?

    Both the Trib and the Sun-Times have the same numbers.

  2. Now, as of 8:00 pm, they’re up to 70.4% reported for both Mayor and Clerk, yet the percent reported for the aldermanic races is still low. Only a couplke of wards are reporting more than 50% so far, and most are well below that.

    Oh, for those who care about such things, Daley’s at 71.8% and del Valle is at 58.5%.

  3. And the Sun Times has called it for Daley… surprise, surprise

  4. damn. turnout is pathetic.

    It can be summed up by my stoopid coworker:
    “I don’t care about city politics. It does nothing for me”

  5. I’ve been trying to get the Chicago Board of Elections web site to load for the past 20 minutes without success. What up with that?

    Comment by Anon Tuesday, Feb 27, 07 @ 8:17 pm

  6. Following the election there are a lot of surprising numbers. Some of my predictions are going to be proven wrong. But there are going to be some runoffs.

    Comment by Levois Tuesday, Feb 27, 07 @ 8:18 pm

  7. Run-offs in 32 and 43

  8. Pat Hickey must be curled up in the fetal position somewhere, spewing weird non-sequiter snippets from Finegan’s Wake right about now. Granted, his candidate will surely prevail, but his nemesis is right on her heels.

    And all this time I was relying on his advice in the 19th Ward, and all things Beverly. I guess you can’t believe everything you read on the internet.
