No one filed a petition to be on the Illinois general election ballot for U.S. House, 3rd district, and the deadline has now passed. The Republican nominee in that district is Arthur Jones, an open neo-Nazi. See this story. The story says that Republicans wanted to recruit a candidate to petition onto the general election ballot, but the requirement of over 14,000 valid signatures is too difficult. That same 5% petition requirement for U.S. House is under court attack in U.S. District Court, in the case Gill v Scholz. Discovery is underway.
Republicans say the will find a write-in candidate for the general election in this district.
I think the IL Republicans just got a taste of the hell they and the Democrats have been putting us through for decades. Maybe they might be more willing to support fairer ballot access laws now.
I wonder why they haven’t sued to get him off the ballot for expressing views contrary to the party’s platform.
Neo-Nazi? I thought ALL Republicans were Neo-Nazis!
What FACTS NEed to be *discovered* in the *discovery* ???
The UNEQUAL LAW(S) IS/ARE ON THE IL LAW BOOKS.
NEO NOTHING.

Bizarre scenarios in single-winner elections are always top news stories for pluralists.
Are you tired of the news about single-winner elections where advertizers and journalists like to promote their finds of materials that bring conflict and hostility?
The United Coalition’s unifying voting system of pure proportional representation (PPR) brings incremental improvements in all situations as us voters try to bring solutions that are good for the whole.
By dividing the time equally for free speech by multiples of diverse names and ideas where no one individual wins in single-winner elections is best because no one person is more important than the team and this helps mitigate the need to promote one person’s agenda as a threat to the whole.
While our team may not have the most talented coaches, we will never allow single winner districts for coaches, and that way we’re dynamic and more importantly we can switch horses in mid-stream, votes of confidence anytime, to continue the work for fairness with the 100% whose votes we depend.
