On April 2, the Illinois Libertarian and Green Parties filed a federal lawsuit to gain ballot access relief for 2020. Libertarian Party of Illinois v Pritzker, n.d., 1:20cv-2112. Here is the Complaint. UPDATE: the case is assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Charles Norgle, a Reagan appointee. Although he has been a federal judge since 1984, it does not appear that he has ever before had a constitutional ballot access case.
Thanks for finding this, Richard. I was actually looking for the complaint for the past couple hours. Keep up the great work!
Minor parties and independents = very minor after-thought / side show due to SCOTUS partisan hacks since 1968 Williams v Rhodes.
EQUAL in 14-1 amdt for INDIVIDUAL candidates —
much too difficult for 52 years for the non-brains in lawyers/worse judges aka legal MORONS.
It’s only fair that they get a small break, since everything else is 10-15 times harder for new parties and independents. Look at history – there’s no independent candidates who can overcome obstacles in Illinois to get on the ballot. That speaks volumes the heavy handed laws.
