Underwood update [View all]

“ U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood has moved into the lead in her tightly contested reelection race against Republican challenger Jim Oberweis, according to new ballot counts filed late Saturday night by the Lake County clerk's office.

Those updated unofficial results show Underwood, a freshman Democrat from Naperville, picking up 2,071 more votes in Lake to Oberweis' 929, erasing the Republican's previous 558-vote lead across the 14th District and giving the incumbent a 584-vote edge.”

From: https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20201108/underwood-moves-ahead-of-oberweis-as-lake-county-updates-results

The Chicago Tribune has the numbers at:

Lauren Underwood (DEM)
191,359

Jim Oberweis (GOP)
190,775

This race is particularly difficult to track as it spans numerous counties.
