The law not allowing "slating" was passed just a couple weeks ago, after it was too late for candidates to get on the ballot. So, the left changed election law mid-stream in order to prevent the GOP from being able to run a slate of candidates. You shouldn't be able to change the laws after elections have gotten underway.

It sounds like this law would screw the Democrats if Joe keeled over in, let’s say, July. They couldn’t replace him on the ballot with Newsome, or Michelle, or Hillary because none of them ran in the primary. The Convention would not be able to put forward a Dark Horse candidate. Am I reading this right?

Illinois is solid red south of Chicago.

Can’t stop the vote fraud in Chicago, but I do wonder if Repubs actually campaigned in Chicongo, and got their numbers up there just a little bit, if it would help them win state-wide races. Usually, Repubs completely ignore chicongo and I think thats a mistake. Especially now is the time to strike with kitchen table issues like inflation hurting the Dems so bad. I think there are ears ready to listen even in the big cities to the REpublican message.

“It really does make sure that we don’t have backroom deals to put people on the ballot and run as a result of some small group of people in a smoke filled room making the choice. So I think, to me, more transparency is better,” said Pritzker.

IOW, SOP for democrats.

The irony of him complaining about it and taking the moral high ground.
