Cook County voters are choosing a new state's attorney for the first time since 2016 in a three-way race featuring:
- Democrat Judge Eileen O'Neill Burke
- Republican former Alder Bob Fioretti
- Libertarian candidate Andrew Kopinski.
Why it matters: In a county where crime is a top concern, the chief prosecutor takes a lot of heat but can also shape policy from a perch viewed as a launching pad to bigger things.
The odds: Republicans have held this seat only three times in the last 90 years, leading many to forecast O'Neill Burke as the strong favorite.
Zoom in: Polls are open 6am to 7pm on Tuesday.
