The Illinois Supreme Court appointed Levander "Van" Smith, Jr. to the countywide Larsen vacancy. The Cook County Democratic Party slated him for that vacancy.
But Smith gave up the vacancy -- though not the slating -- to accept appointment as an associate judge a few months back.
Now it appears that he will be elected to fill the vacancy he stepped away from.
Smith has a comfortable lead in both the City and suburban returns reported so far over Suzanne Therese McEneely and Megan Kathleen Mulay.
