Quigley's up by 2,179 votes (4.28%) over Fritchey and by 2,662 votes (5.23%) over Feigenholtz with 496 of 578 (92.04%) precincts in, so assuming the outstanding precincts have the same average number of votes/precinct as those which have come in, Fritchey would have to lead Quigley by 49.55% or Feigenholtz would have to lead Quigley by 60.54% in order to catch him.  There's no way that's happening, as those two candidates each have under 20% of the vote now and even Quigley's at only 22.14%.  Nobody else could mathematically catch Quigley unless the outstanding precincts averaged many more votes than the ones now in.

In short, Quigley's won the primary and will of course easily win the special (general) election.

I wonder whom the freepers will blame when she loses.

LOL

Did they not notice the Democratic primary had like at least 50,000 more votes and the Republican one had like 4,000?

There is no reason for another thread - henceforth both threads have been merged.

Also note that this election is relevant because IL-5 is a fairly powerful corrupt district (look at the last few owners of the seat).

Corrected for accuracy.

They aren't mutually exclusive. 

I was actually thinking of interesting districts that routinely propel people to higher office.  Georgia's 6th (Newt, Isakson), Nevada's 1st (Reid, Ensign), ...

The election is today.  Polls close at 7PM Central Time. 

I don't have links to results - yet. 

It's a D+18 district, so there should be no surprises here. Emanuel handily won reelection with 74% in 2008.  His worst showing was 67% when he was initially elected in 2002.

NBC 5 Chicago has an election results page here.

They also link to the pages for the Cook County and Chicago elections results pages:
Chicago
Cook County (minus Chicago)

Illinois' State Board of Elections may or may not have results here.

ABC 7 election results link here.

How low of a percentage can this Rosanna woman get?

The over/under should be about 17%.  A Republican ward leader was telling folks to write in Abraham Lincoln instead of voting for her.  She has no support from the Chicago Republican machine, if one even exists.

Her posts on Free Republic came up in the scant media coverage of the election.

Lower turnout than I expected. But I guess I should've known better.

I believe that's from the Chicago portion of the district.

I can't tell.  It's from ABC 7's webpage.  Neither the Chicago or Cook County sans Chicago elections pages have results yet.

The Trib had the same numbers but claimed they were Chicago only.

That probably included some suburban votes.  Suburb-only Cook tally:

Precincts Counted: 37 of 92 (40.22%)
Candidates   Votes   %
Mike Quigley (DEM)   2,869   58.54%
Matt Reichel (GRN)   257   5.24%
Rosanna Pulido (REP)   1,775   36.22%
