The author uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that the Chicago Board of Elections noted that mail-in ballots are continuing to be processed and will not be counted until April 2nd. This statement is misleading as it implies that all late-arriving vote-by-mail ballots will not be counted, which is incorrect according to Illinois election code. The author also uses an appeal to authority by stating that the vast majority of vote-by-mail ballots come back on election day or night and are processed immediately after the polls close. This statement is misleading as it implies that all late-arriving vote-by-mail ballots will not be counted, which is incorrect according to Illinois election code. The author also uses a dichotomous depiction by stating that Chicago's voter turnout was 'shockingly low', implying that there are only two options: high or low voter turnout. This statement is misleading as it ignores the possibility of average or moderate voter turnout.

However, this statement is not entirely accurate as there are actually only 51 delegates and another 13 at-large delegates who will be chosen later by party leaders.
The article states that 'Votes will be counted in contested races after polls close in Illinois at 7 p.m. Central'. However, this statement is not entirely accurate as the votes for the delegate elections are only counted after all of the ballots have been tallied and verified.
