Do we have to wait until midnight for the results? Or is that only for the city council?

[Orwell]

I kinda hope Johnson wins so his resulting corruption arrest removes him from contention for any higher office.

For ward by ward results yes. For the overall total No.

Polls have closed.

Estimated 18% reporting:

Vallas 59,178 - 52.9%
Johnson 52,680 - 47.1%


@Taniel on Twitter claims the gap after the inital results narrowed by 6 points against Vallas in the primary. Could be looking at a real close one here if that holds again today.

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

50% in:

VALLAS - 155,501 (52.0%)
JOHNSON - 143,542 (48.0%)

[Sestak]

Up quickly to estimated 48% reporting.

Vallas 155,501 - 52.0%
Johnson 143,542 - 48.0%


Johnson still lost that batch comfortably. Will have to turn things around quickly now.

[Alben Barkley]

Why would Chicago trade one incompetent "progressive" for another? Might as well have just stuck with Lightfoot if they go with Johnson. It won't get any better, quite possibly worse.

[Oryxslayer]

Up quickly to estimated 48% reporting.

Vallas 155,501 - 52.0%
Johnson 143,542 - 48.0%


Johnson still lost that batch comfortably. Will have to turn things around quickly now.

Johnson gained in the votes that were counted very late in the primary, just in case the result is close enough it can't be called.

Let’s go Vallas

Angela Clay - 4,975 (55.74%)
Kim Walz - 3,951 (44.26%)

Crossing my fingers this result holds.

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

VALLAS - 182,439 (51.2%)
JOHNSON - 173,711 (48.8%)

57% in, gap has narrowed from 11,000 to 9,000.

[Benjamin Frank]

Two thirds counted approximately

BRANDON JOHNSON
173,711
48.77%

PAUL VALLAS
182,439
51.23%

Total Votes
356,150

Does anybody know the eligible voter total?

[Sestak]

And just like that, a very strong drop for Johnson. If the rest look like that it's very over.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Let’s go Vallas

I hope he does win.

[Benjamin Frank]

VALLAS - 182,439 (51.2%)
JOHNSON - 173,711 (48.8%)

57% in, gap has narrowed from 11,000 to 9,000.

57%?

Precincts Reported: 855 of 1,291 (66.23%)

[Gass3268]

We aren't going to know who won tonight.

[Gracile]

VALLAS - 182,439 (51.2%)
JOHNSON - 173,711 (48.8%)

57% in, gap has narrowed from 11,000 to 9,000.

57%?

Precincts Reported: 855 of 1,291 (66.23%)

I assume 57% is an estimate that accounts for VBM.

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

I kinda want Johnson to win so that Vosem's 'voters will always go against tax increases' theory is proven incorrect.

VALLAS - 182,439 (51.2%)

NYT is doing an estimate of the vote reported, rather than precincts; they think 57%. Could have to do with outstanding mail.

Ah, thanks!

I would rather be Johnson than Vallas. The trendlines look grim...
