On the afternoon of March 23, U.S. District Court Judge Andrea Wood said her decision in Libertarian Party of Illinois v Illinois State Board of Elections will be issued “within the week.”  The issue is the unique Illinois law that says newly-qualifying parties must run a full slate of candidates, whereas already qualified parties have no such obligation.

The judge also canceled the status conference set for March 24 and reset it for April 7 at 9 a.m.  For some time she has been saying the decision will be released before the next status conference, but she has postponed the status conference date twice.
