Municipal elections in Chicago are in odd years, which virtually guarantees low turnout. This is probably on purpose, but on the other hand the November ballot in even years is already 20 pages long, so adding a bunch more local stuff would make them insane. So basically, hardly anyone voted for her. About 6% of registered voters voted for her, and that made her the top vote getter. In the special election, she did better (24% of registered voters!) but basically it was just people voting for “anyone but Prekwinkle”. And, well, elections have consequences. LOL
