MUST WATCH: Chicago Ald. Bill Conway gives a measured, thoughtful speech on the floor of the City Council today about his colleague Byron Sigcho Lopez after Sigcho Lopez partnered with extremist group Behind Enemy Lines. The group has celebrated the atrocities of Oct. 7 and is openly calling for violent protests of the DNC in Chicago this summer.
I regret to relay that this weekend is apparently* the last for @frankschicago in Lincoln Park. This is both the loss of a good Chicago tavern and a shrewd blow to Chicago’s shrinking strategic reserve of 4am bars.
Go by if you can.
* = So multiple well informed sources say.
It’s excellent news that Eileen O’Neill Burke won……there should still be a massive investigation into how the ballot counting was handled and Max Bever should never work in this town again.
@DanteTheDon@ChicagoElection Dante, didn’t you hear…..they’re actually AHEAD of their own schedule. Everyone needs to chill. We’ll know who our new states attorney is within the next 2-10 weeks.
An incorrect number of Provisional ballots was initially logged for Election Day. 2882 was reported instead of 1882. Staff performed an updated hand count: 1,991 total Provisional ballots were cast and will be reviewed for acceptance, rejection, or partial count by April 2.
New confusion … #statesatty race:
@ChicagoElection says there’s 2,800 provisional ballots left, but a document shows it’s 1,800
In a tight race 1K ballots is ALOT of votes to miscommunicate.

Taking into account everything the government/City of Chicago has gotten wrong over the past 5 years (and countless years of corruption prior), to not look at the current States Attorney ballot situation as something nefarious just makes you look like a rube.
