Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson was elected Chicago mayor on Tuesday, becoming the second Black man elected to lead the nation’s third largest city.

Paul Vallas, the former Chicago Public Schools CEO, conceded defeat, saying he expects Johnson to be the next mayor. Vallas ran for mayor after a surge in crime roiled Chicago as the city struggled to emerge from the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic’s peak and racial justice protests that turned violent.

Johnson will replace Lori Lightfoot, whose bid for a second term was soundly rejected by Chicago voters in the Feb. 28 election. Lightfoot will be the first Chicago mayor since Jane Byrne to serve just four years in office.

The Dead Vote in Chicago Elections
May 1975

Voter studies in Chicago have never been taken seriously by professional political analysts. Unsolved problems have perplexed political scientists for the last fifty years. There is, for instance, the mysterious precinct population problem. Statistical studies often show as many as eight precincts that have more registered Democrats than they have adult residents. In addition, surveys mailed to voters after elections are often returned in large numbers marked: “Deceased.”

It is getting nearly impossible to feel sorry for Chicago voters.

To be fair to Chicago voters, in a 52-48 race, dead voters may have provided the margin. I used to live there in the Mayor Daley years, but left. Back then it was corrupt, but livable. Now it's just corrupt.

Also, to be fair to Chicago voters: "What are they drinking?"

99 percent of Illinois communities fluoridate their water sources, ranking third highest in the country.

Caution: "Conspiracy Theory" ahead!

Would You Like Some Fluoride With That?

Well, fluoride has its potential dangers. But practically everyone I know in the U.S. lives in a community that puts it in their water.
