WBEZ county reporter Kristen Schorch explains who got the nod, and how the county party’s backing helps a candidate.Then Mother Jones’ AJ Vicens talks about the reporting he’s done around election tampering via social media, and how rules to combat it might inadvertently be hurting municipal elections across the country, including here in Chicago.
