Countywide cliffhanger?

Chicago Ald. Howard B. Brookins, Jr. has a margin of barely 100 votes over Lisa Michelle Taylor in suburban returns in the race for the countywide Brennan vacancy. In City returns, however, with 93.62% of the available votes counted, Brookins trails Taylor by 11,000 votes.

Is this a cliffhanger? In a race with turnout that ranged from dismal to abysmal, and who-knows-how-many votes that may actually be coming back to the election authorities in the mail, it may turn out to be a cliffhanger. Or not.

In the other countywide race that seemed close earlier in the evening, Elizabeth "Beth" Ryan has a 10,000 vote margin in City returns and an almost 15,000 vote margin in the suburbs. Which seems pretty safe.
