The Working Class Party, which is on the ballot in Maryland and Michigan, has petitioned this year for a U.S. House seat in Illinois. It is running Edward Hershey in the 4th district, in Chicago.
In years ending in “2”, such as 2022, Illinois requires exactly 5,000 signatures for minor party and independent candidates for U.S. House. In other years, Illinois requires a petition signed by 5% of the last vote cast, which is generally between 15,000 and 20,000 signatures.
Any idea how many signatures they submitted? Never saw a press release from the campaign and the party is fairly non-existent outside of the city of Chicago.
Fake news. Working class is for Trump.
