Illinois Will Hold Special U.S. House Election in or before July

The 18th U.S. House district in Illinois will soon be vacant.  See this story, which says that a special election must be held in July, if not before.  Under a 2013 U.S. District Court decision, Jones v McGuffage, Illinois cannot require independent candidates, or the nominees of unqualified parties, to complete a petition of 5% of the last vote cast in special U.S. House elections.
