Illinois primary election laws struck down by court en banc
The HMREE Circuit Court sitting en banc at Dixon Illinois ruled Illinois primary election laws unconstitutional. It held that equal representation in county conventions and in state and judicial conventions is impossible under current law. The case will go to the Supreme Court in October on appeal, and if sustained the party nomination system may be wiped out with the old delegate convention system returning. Senator Deneen and others believe April nominations will remain valid since the November election precedes Supreme Court action.
