Electile Dysfunction Can Now Project...

...that Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley will go on to win the Democratic primary in the special election for Illinois' 5th Congressional District. I thought it would be state Rep. Sara Feigenholtz. Oh well.

Here are the numbers with 82% of the precincts reporting:

Quigley--23%
Fritchey--18%
Feigenholtz--16%
O'Connor--13%
Forys--10%

And it looks like Quigley will face off against Republican Rosanna Pulido in the special general election on April 7. Quigley will be heavily favored to win.

Here are the results from the Republican primary:

Pulido--25%
Hanson--20%
Anderson--20%
Bedell--16%

Matt Reichel will be the Green Party's nominee. Click here for minute-to-minute precinct results.

UPDATE (10:15): WBBM Radio reports that Fritchey and Feigenholtz have called Quigley to concede.

UPDATE (11:19): The AP has called the race for Quigley.
