Challenges to petitions shape Cook County ballot access
The petition challenge system shifts risk to petitioners while protecting candidates. About 74 challenges this cycle, with roughly a third from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Board. Any person can challenge, with panels of county and state officials ruling after hearings. Appeals can reach the Supreme Court, potentially delaying ballots and costly reprints, as in a past case costing Cook County $1 million.
