Tell us more please. Who voted for who?
Go check yourself, you clearly have enough free time to waste.
The only real deviation came from white progressives that voted for Johnson.
Curious why you are so surprised by this tendency?

Nah I'm curious as to what you mean by "the votes were predominately race based".

Not sure how they don't get how and when financial statements are prepared or that there's two matters here. One is the accounting entries which obfuscate the payments made in the period before the elections.

Going by districts and their demographics, predominantly

Hispanics voted for Jesús G. García
African American voted for Lori Lightfoot and Brandon Johnson
Whites voted for Paul Vallas

How is that a difficult concept?

You can use the interactive map from this article to go check.

You clearly don't understand over/under-representation nor that registered voters don't turnout at equal ratios to their ward or even their precinct demographics.

You clearly don't understand the simplicity in the average voters decision making. In group preference is a thing (ironically except with progressive whites).
Your overcomplicating a simple trend.

Yeah it's not that simple. Your mindset is off.

Funny that in the primary if you look at the vote heat map you can clearly see that the votes were predominately race based.

Vallas would have been a better mayor, but they made their beds. Question is, will he be worse than Beetlejuice?

Yup. Chicago is a very polarised city. Wards were often won with more than 65% of the vote for either candidate.

It is as simple as blacks voting for the progressive, mostly whites voting for the other guy and Hispanics being the only group where there was not a strong preference for one or the other.

You're ignoring the biggest factor to focus on lesser factors.
So yeah Johnson won because of identity politics.

And yet overwhelmingly the north east wards which are some of the highest predominantly white wards were won by Johnson.

Your lack of reading comprehension is astounding... Or perhaps it's the lack of understanding of the different wards?
Go re-read my original message.

Ward 49 - not overwhelmingly white:


Ward 48 - not overwhelmingly white:


Ward 46 - not overwhelmingly white:


Ward 33 - not overwhelmingly white:


Only ward 47 is overwhelmingly white which voted for Johnson. Will google the rest of the NE wards later
