On July 1, Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker signed HB 4488. It moves the petition deadline for independent candidates, and the nominees of unqualified parties, from June to May. It also shrinks the petitioning period from 90 days to 60 days.

Moving the deadline up does not injure ballot access, but shrinking the petition period does. The whole 90 day period should have been brought forward.
Thanks JB. I can tell you really care about democracy.
A democratic democratcy is when Democrats rule totally and completely by consensus. At that point, everyone is, like, um, totally happy, LOL! Democrats RULE!
Comrade Ny,
You don’t understand what democracy is. It should be spelled Democratcy. It’s when Democrats win. Unless you weren’t being sarcastic. Then we totally agree!
For over 100 years the constitutional deadline for any candidate to appear on the ballot was election day when the voter put the name on the ballot. But that was before censorship was accepted as pillar in structuring a fascist police state without a constitutional amendment revoking the power of the voter to choose.
Abolish all ballot access laws.
Comrade Robinson,
For over a hundred years, a majority of human beings in the USA, including all wombpersons, original Americans, gender and sexual minorities, the vast majority of African Americans, many Latinos, and many others were not treated as human. Please take that into account when you glorify those times and denigrate the progressive accomplishments made since then, and those yet to be made

Comrade Z
That’s right! That’s why we need a government by, for, and of the Democratic Party. Everyone who opposes the Democratic Party opposes democratcy, which is the new and improved spelling of democracy!
