In a swift legislative move earlier this month, Illinois Democrats expedited a bill through the General Assembly to alter election rules mid-cycle. The bill was introduced, passed through both chambers, and signed into law in less than 48 hours, offering no opportunity for public review. As a result of this abrupt change, Republicans have initiated legal proceedings with the aim of having the law declared unconstitutional.

According to Chicago Sun-Times, this modification to Illinois election law deprives voters of a choice at the ballot. Capitol Briefs further reported that Republicans are suing over a law that prohibits legislative candidate slating.
