Here’s hoping The aldermanic and treasurer races turn out ok. The energy the runoff opponents have, along with clean and strong credentials, give me hope for a better city.

For the mayoral races, it signifies a possible shift away from the old-school politics of the city. My support lies with Lori Lightfoot, but I wouldn’t be too sad with Toni Preckwinkle. In fact, I hope the final tally is a tight one, we need to earn our victory after all.

I also hope that young people are more mobilized than over here in the suburbs. I see more young people act as election judges and EMs proportionally than be voters, it’s sickening no matter how small the election is.

What time should we get an early indication of a possible landslide victory for Lightfoot ?

Turnout is horrible among young people, especially biting considering how fresh the candidates for all citywide races still going are. I’m considering making a pyre for offering Ahura Mazda’s good graces today.

It quite sad that young people can't be bothered to vote in local elections and in general. They complain about wanting change but can't get off their butts to vote.

The results came in pretty quickly after the 7pm central poll closing on Feb 26, so I’m hopeful for the same this time around. I guess we’ll find out soon.

A few predictions before everything officially closes:

I think the Mayor’s race has the potential to be much closer than most are thinking

I think that Ameya is going to lose the Treasurer’s race (and I’ll shed tears)

I think Lalonde is going to beat Cappleman in the 46th

Bad news for Ameya. If it’s Lori territory, it should be his, too (except for the cop wards)

I thought this would be a big win for lightfoot but I never thought it would be a blowout like this!

But Lori won

Also Martin is going to beat Negron in the 47th, a major win

Also Vasquez is up narrowly. That’s the most important ward IMO
