Ballot dispute over Keyes on Illinois election ballot
The Illinois State Board of Elections debated including Republican U S Senate candidate Alan Keyes on the November ballot. Four Democrats and four Republicans wrangled over authority to replace Jack Ryan, who withdrew amid scandal, with Keyes. After a lengthy session and a conference with RNC attorney Charles Spies, the board certified Keyes on the ballot. The panel planned further certification after Bush’s nomination and left open the option to amend if Spies reasoning falters.
