Residency challenge set before Illinois Supreme Court
A Jackson County case testing the six month residency rule for voting will be heard by the Illinois Supreme Court. Murphysboro lawyer David Watt filed to seek leave to present the case, with a hearing scheduled for Sept. 11. The suit, by Dr. Stephen Jaffe and his wife Nancy of Carbondale, argues the six month rule is unconstitutional in light of recent U S Supreme Court rulings and Cook County decisions. The Atty. Gen. William Scott’s office may join as friend of the plaintiff.
