As of the latest update (yesterday at noon), the Chicago Board of Elections reports that Ashley Greer Shambley now holds a 56 vote lead over Tiffany N. Brooks, 16,264 to 16,208, in the race for the Walker vacancy in the 1st Subcircuit. Since yesterday's update, that's seven new votes for Shambley, six for Brooks.
Drip, drip, drip...
Meanwhile, in the race for the 8th Subcircuit Gamrath vacancy, Kathleen Cunniff Ori now has a 207 vote margin over Elizabeth Christine Dibler, 14,385 to 14,178. That's 11 more votes for Ori since yesterday's update, six for Dibler.
Drip, drip, drip...
It is not the CBOE's fault that these results are accreting like stalagmites on a cave floor; I have not heard even the slightest whisper of impropriety from any of the affected candidates -- and I am certain that they are carefully monitoring the CBOE's process. Rather, it is the statutory scheme which permits this long, drawn-out counting business. This could -- and should -- be fixed.
