This is not an opinion on whether Daniel Biss or Kat Abughazaleh was a better candidate or a better fit for #IL09. This is my view that the AIPAC tracker should not be taken seriously for journalistic or scholarly purposes unless they publicly address numerous inconsistencies in their methodology

AIPAC Splits in Illinois Races After $20M in Spending

AIPAC-tied groups poured millions into yesterday’s Illinois Democratic primaries, much of it from undisclosed sources. Here’s how it turned out.

The AP has now called #IL09 for Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss and #IL08 for ex-Rep. Melissa Bean. We now have calls in all the major races except the #IL07 Dem primary, but runner-up Melissa Conyears-Ervin conceded to La Shawn Ford earlier in the evening.

When you are in a safe blue district like #IL09 is, winning the Democratic primary is practically the same thing as winning the general election.

Neighbor and friend of mine, who is of #Palestinian descent, and I were seriously nearly in tears of joy to see Kat Abughazaleh @katmabu.bsky.social, who is also of Palestinian descent, at the top of this chart. This is historical.

#IL-09 does look like it’s going to be a tight finish. I have no preferred candidate since I’m not a Chicagoland resident. But I am interested in what people say when the dust clears.
