That was a few days ago. Those were mail-in ballots that were NOT mishandled, and would have included both Democratic and Republican primary ballots. They failed to aggregate the votes properly cast on those ballots with the interim total announced Saturday. It has nothing to do with thwarting the Republican nominee. We already know whom the nominee is. Bob Fioretti ran unopposed. Also, it's a former alderman so it's not like you'd have voted for him. Burke vs. Harris is a race for the Democratic Party nomination. Burke is simply willing to prosecute offenders based on the state criminal code threshold for low-level felony charges and Harris wants to continue Foxx's policy of letting first-time arrestees off the hook for low level felonies. They weren't far apart on other issues. Fioretti won't be all that different from Burke.
