    In Cook County DA race, 10,000 mail-in ballots suddenly appear.

    More than 10K ballots mistakenly left out of unofficial vote count, Chicago Board of Elections says.

    The Chicago Board of Elections has admitted to a mistake as the city awaits the outcome of the Democratic primary race for Cook County state's attorney.

    The board said it is working to add more than 10,000 votes to its total count after its director of public information said he mistakenly left out some vote-by-mail ballots.

    Chicago Board of Elections Public Information Officer Max Bever released a statement Saturday night, saying vote-by-mail ballots delivered on Monday, March 18 were left out of the count.

    "I am absolutely mortified for the mistake that I made in my reporting," Bever said Sunday.

    "This is not an issue of recently found ballots or missing ballots.

    This was an issue that I was getting out about how many vote-by-mail ballots we have received on Election Day.

    What I had not done was realize additional vote-by-mail ballots were received on Monday the 18th."

    The board is now working to add more than 10,000 mail-in votes to its total count.

    The "tough on crime" candidate still has a small lead.

    Race for Chicago-area prosecutor seat features tough-on-crime judge, lawyer with Democratic backing.

    CHICAGO (AP) — An open seat to lead the nation’s second-largest prosecutor’s office has become one of the most spirited races in the Illinois primary with a Democratic matchup between a tough-on-crime judge and an attorney with union and establishment backing.

    The Cook County state’s attorney primary features Eileen O’Neill Burke, a former appellate judge with a large campaign war chest, versus Clayton Harris III, a professor and former prosecutor who’s held government posts.

    The race is the latest example of how the legacy of progressive Democrats who swept into big city prosecutor offices over the past decade has fractured.

    Some, including in Los Angeles, face tough reelection bids with blame on progressive policies for perceptions that cities are less safe.

    Others have resigned or face possible impeachment.

    Needs to be updated. Ukraine does not allow voting at all, at the moment.

    Ukraine is the ne plus ultra of election fortification.
