Updated election returns in 2nd, 3rd Subcircuit races

Looking at City returns updated March 30 and County returns updated last evening, here is where the 2nd and 3rd Subcircuit races now stand.

In the 2nd Subcircuit, Judge Sondra Nicole Denmark has 10,309 suburban votes and 7,689 City votes, for a total of 17,998. Felicia H. Simmons-Stovall has 8,417 votes in the suburbs and 8,819 votes in the City, for a total of 17,236. Denmark's margin has lengthened since Election Night, as additional votes have been counted. The trend certainly appears to be in her favor.

In the race for the Flynn vacancy in the 3rd Subcircuit, Lauren Brougham Glennon has 2,980 votes in the suburbs currently and 9,468 votes from City precincts, for a total of 12,448. Regina Ann Mescall stands with 3,067 votes from the suburbs and 9,625 votes in the City, for a total of 12,692, a margin of 244 votes.

This margin, though razor-thin, represents a turnaround from Election Night, when Glennon had a roughly 200 vote margin.

Yesterday was the last day that mail-in votes could be received by the election authorities. Votes received as late as yesterday will be counted so long as they are postmarked or certified as having been mailed on or before March 17.

We are now 15 days out from the primary election. The City and County election authorities are required to certify the election results by no later than 21 days following the primary.

Clearly, votes have been counted since Election Night by both City and County election authorities. FWIW has no information at this juncture as to how many votes remain to be counted.
