On April 30, the Illinois Independence Party filed this reply brief in Team Kennedy v Illinois State Board of Elections, n.d., 1:24cv-7027. This is the case that challenges the Illinois law that says that if a circulator worked on a primary petition, he or she then can’t work on a general election petition in the same year. Because most petitioning in difficult states is carried out by professional petitioners, this law has a major impact on the ability of minor party and independent candidates to access the ballot.
I am glad to see this law is being challenged in court. This should have happened a long time ago.
