On May 1, U.S. District Court Judge Sue Myerscough declined to grant ballot access relief to proponents of some local Illinois initiatives, because the petition deadline for local initiatives is August 3, and the Governor’s order for social distancing expired May 29. The ruling said the proponents would be free to get their signatures after the Governor’s order expired on May 29.

But on May 29, the Governor extended the social distancing order until June 28. So, on May 29, the proponents asked Judge Myerscough to re-open the case and grant relief. Bambenck v Althoff, c.d., 3:20cv-3107. Here is the request for reconsideration.
