FCC must grant equal broadcast time to write-in Illinois candidates
A three judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the FCC to require broadcasting stations to provide equal time to write-in and other bona fide candidates who publicly announce their candidacy or receive party nomination.
