Brazen election interference: Illinois Democrats retroactively change law to knock out Republican challengers. Surely, lawsuits must follow.
2024-05-09
[WirePoints] As an alternative to a primary election, Illinois law allowed for a party to get its candidates on the ballot for General Assembly spots by party slating procedure, along with collection of a requisite number of public signatures on nominating positions. A number of Republican challengers have been proceeding accordingly.

But over the course of just 30 hours on the first days of this month, the Democratic supermajority changed the law to retroactively disallow that procedure, thereby barring challengers from the November ballot as Republican party candidates.

The new law almost certainly gives Democrats a win in races in which Republicans did not run a candidate in the primary and could result in dozens of unopposed races.

Gov. JB signed the new law the day after it was passed, hours after telling reporters he didn’t know all the details. He also claimed it was an "ethics" bill."



My take is that "JB" (D-Ukraine) wouldn't know "ethics" if they crawled up his a$$ and sat next to his brothers "missing" sex Toy.

#3  It was an ethics bill. It was against ethics.

#2  ..thereby barring challengers from the November ballot as Republican party candidates.


Section 4

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence. - US Constitution

..seems to be at odds to the text, but hell the Left is allowing an invasion, so it looks like they're going all out for one party rule. These are the same people who get judges to throw out voter ID because its racist (even though minorities still seem to buy alcohol and tobacco products).

Look a Fulton Co., GA.
Where Trump is on trial for asking for a recount.

Now the Ga. Election Commission Audit 4 years later finds Fulton Co. (1 Ga. County alone) suddenly has lost 380,761 voter ballot images.

Votes that likely never existed to begin with.
