Chicago, welcome to Election Day. And according to experts, it’s going to be a long one.
With a crowded field of nine candidates, various conflicting polls and thousands more ballots expected to be cast on Election Day -- not to mention the thousands of outstanding mail-in ballots the Chicago Board of Elections expected to receive in the coming days -- experts are increasingly predicting a mayoral runoff.
“It might take some time after election night to call some of these races, even the mayor’s race,” Max Bever of the Chicago Board of Elections “It’s very, very possible that we could have discovery recounts to see who comes in second, to see who is entitled to run on April 4,” he says. The nine candidates running for Chicago mayor are: Ja’Mal Green, Ald. Sophia King, State Rep. Kam Buckner, Willie Wilson, Brandon Johnson, Paul Vallas, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Ald. Roderick Sawyer and Rep. Jesús ‘Chuy’ García.
