So much #pilsen drama going around ahead of the 2023 #ChicagoElections cycle officially starting in a couple weeks.
I won't go into it all here, but it's worth recapping (and contextualizing) some of the major news from this week. 🧵

The @25thWardIPO celebrated "4 years [of] building" with a fundraiser last night that was also billed a "relaunch and rebrand". Considering it was just 2 years ago they didn't have enough members 2 form a steering committee, "relaunch" seems more fitting
They spent most of the primary organizing *checks notes* outside the new ward boundaries and failed to even pass an INTERNAL organizational endorsement of @YanezJavy after their leadership apparently chose to leave @UWFIllinois in protest of their endorsement of @SenatorCelina
Election Day so far: 5/8 election staff are elderly, we were provided with no cleaning supplies, we are missing an ENTIRE blue box (meaning anyone who comes to this precinct cannot vote), we are missing 2 election judges & nobody is answering our calls. 
Voters now showing up and we have to explain that we don’t have the supplies for them to vote. Still no cleaning supplies. Off to a great start🙃🙃
Turned away about 20 voters so far, many of them aren’t able to come back at another time #ILPrimary #Elections2020 @JBPritzker @AldTomTunney @DNC @chicagosmayor @nbcchicago @ABC7Chicago
