On April 5, the Illinois Libertarian Party filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Chicago, charging that the June 25 petition deadline is too early, at least for Presidential candidates.

The lawsuit is Libertarian Party of Illinois v State Board of Elections, civ. 12-2511. Here is the complaint.
Each election for each separate office is NEW and has ZERO to do with any prior event in the history of the universe — except perhaps the number of actual voters in the election area involved at the last election.
