We are a bit confused about this statement. If they left out ballots received via USPS shouldn't they be postmarked? @AldermanHopkins @MaryAnnAhernNBC

@ChiTownIndy @AldermanHopkins @MaryAnnAhernNBC If you go to @AldermanHopkins you will see a tweet where election staff informed him that most of the remaining ballots are dropbox wo a postmark. Dropbox voting ended 5 days ago. They owe the public an explanation as to why they haven't been counted yet.

Our current thoughts on the Harris/Burke race: We've been consistent since election night that this race was too close to call. We fully expected that the later arriving VBM ballots would favor Harris much than Burke. There is a non-fraudulent reason for this. A thread-

We promise State's Attorney numbers are coming tonight. But as an appetizer we have the MWRD. This is 4 candidates for 3 spots. Kari Steele leads with Marcelino Garcia in a strong 2nd. Waller and Porgozelski are fighting for the final spot.

In the Burke/Harris election we have a dead heat. 21-21 with a whopping 58% undecided. Cross tabs and the polling memo are in a link below the fold. What is not in the memo are important intangibles that may end up deciding the race. Burke is winning the money

As of this post Burke leads Harris by 2015 votes. We have been consistently saying this race is too close to call since election night. It still is. That said, in our opinion this is the best position Burke has been in. We have limited knowledge of how many votes are left to

@AldermanHopkins @ChiTownIndy @MaryAnnAhernNBC @AldermanHopkins We certainly appreciate your information. We've been saying since election night this isn't over and have explained why Harris was likely to do better with late VBM. But we haven't seen a clarification about said confusion. They owe one.

There is more to understanding the numbers than reading the toplines. While many were ready to call the State's Attorney race we were on a podcast giving people pause. We knew the race would tighten. Harris will likely do well with the remaining VBM.

@irvineghost20 @Trepadacio911 @MattPodgorski9 I don't believe that article includes the suburban outstanding ballots. She'll have to hold that lead with all the ballots left there.

In Chicago, the later ballots are coming in 61-39 for Harris. While many are screaming foul, there is a couple of normal reasons for this and we've seen it in other races. When a VBM ballot arrives is an indication of how a voter is likely to vote. Late arriving voters are

be counted. The county will count 1000 tomorrow and the city apparently has 1500. We are not sure if that includes provisionals. Plus how many outstanding ballots will still arrive via mail. At the margins Harris is getting there needs to be about 10K more votes.

with additional ballot counting in Chicago. There are apparently many more votes to be counted in the suburbs. We do expect gains there, but not to the same extent as the city. This will be tight! All that said, we will address the "found" ballot situation later.

@irvineghost20 Late VBM's tend to be younger voters and more progressive than other voters. I suspect Harris keeps gaining ground.

a blowout. It was. We even has the MWRD district order correct out of the 4 candidates. We showed the State's Attorneys race as a tie with a TON of undecideds. It still isn't called. More on that race later.

@btpanko We pushed leaners and it was still a dead heat. With 58% undecided and leaners not breaking hard either way it doesn't make sense to include them. If it was 40-40 with 2/3 going one way it would matter more. It doesn't here. Wide open race.

At this point, we don't even think you can call Burke the favorite. She leads by less than 9000 votes with over 100,000 VBMs outstanding. The first batch of late VBMs will tell the story!

younger and more progressive. An anology - My parents who are in their 80's won't go on vacation for more than a month bc they don't trust mail forwarding. When they VBM, they do it weeks early. If my daughter wasn't reminded to vote, she wouldn't. We've polled people who VBM'ed

When undecideds are pushed the lead swells to roughly 8%. But what if Nikki Haley drops out? Among Trump supporters only, the race is tied 43-43. Will Haley voters show up if she's no longer in the race?

Well the results are (mostly) in. M3 had a fanastic night. While polling is just a snapshot in time, our accuracy is clear. The Cook County polls were done about 3 weeks out from election day. We saw the Cunningham blowout. Our Clerk poll showed the race trending towards

@Abc25683041 In other races we have polled returned VBM's by day. The later they come in, the more progressive they get. There are dozens of actual election results that show that VBM returns in general are more progressive than election day voters. My anology was simply an example.

We polled for several individual races. One that released the numbers was the Balkema campaign. We showed him with a healthy lead over a month out. It stayed that way. Our last internal polled had it nailed. If you like accurate polling results and analysis DM us!

in other races on a daily basis. The data is clear. Early VBM voters are much older and less progressive than late VBM voters. Plus, Harris was the party candidate. It is reasonable to believe his VBM chase program was better than Burke's. We expect Harris to make big gains
