Recount likely in 15th Subcircuit race?

Nobody's told me anything at this point -- why should they? -- but the race for the Sterba vacancy in the 15th Subcircuit has become the narrowest of cliffhangers, with Judge Chris Lawler emerging with a 14 vote lead, according to results posted on Cook County Clerk David Orr's website, over Michael B. Barrett:
