Senate Primary Bill Advances To Third Reading Amid Debate
The Illinois Senate pushed primary bill 41 to third reading after a bruising series of amendments. An applied Gibson amendment introduces a blanket ballot allowing secret party voting without declaring party affiliation, forcing a single ticket choice. The measure aided by Democrats and dissenting Republicans could clear the chamber. Gov. Deneen reportedly may veto over the blanket ballot feature. The previous day the Senate approved the bill 28 to 13, with Democratic backing and a few Republicans opposing stricter primaries.
