Commentary on Recent Illinois Court Decision That Allows Candidate “Slating” to Continue for 2024 Election

Here is a commentary from UC Davis Law Professor Vikram David Amar on the recent Illinois State Court decision that ruled unconstitutional (for 2024 only) a recent law passed in Illinois that bars “slating,” or the placement of candidates of established parties on General Election ballots, after the Primary date, when a party did not have a candidate in that district who gathered a sufficient number of signatures to appear on the Primary ballot in that district. This was because the court found that the law change was changing the rules in the middle of the election process for 2024.

In future years, the law will be to the detriment of Illinois voters, as there will be fewer contested General Elections in Illinois.

  2. “the law will be to the detriment of Illinois voters”

    On the contrary, what is to the detriment of voters is allowing the uniparty to pull candidates out from where the sun never shines after the primary. And in response to the excuse that they were already candidates before the primary, I would point to the fact that they lacked sufficient signatures to get on the primary ballot. Why should candidates from “established parties” be treated preferentially?

  3. I think that angry person just hates minorities. Puerto Rico is majority minority, which both totally makes sense and makes it particularly vulnerable to dangerous angry bigots who hate minorities. People like that need to be rounded up and sent to gitmo. Making angry comments about Puerto Ricans and other minorities should be a very serious legal offense. Exceptions should be made for minorities that tend to be right wing. It should be totally ok and highly encouraged to revile them as much as possible.
