Illinois Legislator Asks State Supreme Court to Hear its Appeal in Lawsuit on Whether Parties Can Nominate After Primary

On June 14, the Speaker of the Illinois House, Chris Welch, asked the State Supreme Court to hear Collazo v Illinois State Board of Elections.  This is the lawsuit on the new law that eliminates the ability of qualified parties to nominate someone after the primary is over.  The lower court had struck down the law, as applied to the 2024 election, on the grounds that it violates due process to make ballot access more restrictive in the middle of the election season.  Thanks to Sam Cahnman for this news.

Welch had been allowed to intervene in the case.  The State Board of Elections is not pursuing an appeal.

  1. The “Democratic” Party Establishment once again making Orwell stir in his grave by continuing their attempts to destroy what precious little remains of free and fair elections. I hope the courts continue to hold the line on this one, otherwise we’ll likely end up seeing many other ballot access laws changed mid-election; for instance, either ruling party could suddenly increase the number of ballot access petition signatures required right as minor party and Independent candidates are about to file.

  2. Stop trolling: I am not Just Me you cock sucking mother fucker. I have NEVER used a pseudonym. Fuck You Fuck You Fuck You

  3. The more triggered you are, the more obvious those are your pseudonyms.

  6. The resolution should be obvious:
    No, of course parties shouldn’t be able to nominate after the primary.
    No, of course you can’t change the rules mid election.
    Therefore, after this election going forward, no more post-primary nominations.

  7. Chomsky should have stuck to generative grammar. But since he didn’t, now he’s not allowed to kick the bucket until he’s debated Dugin.

  8. May the great Noam Chomsky keep living a long time! I would totally elder care and give awesome sponge baths!

  9. Comrade H: you fundamentally misunderstood free and fair elections. Free and fair elections are those Democrats win, by definition, unless the only possible competition is further to our left.
