I suppose this should have been predictable given the current political climate around the country, but it’s still disappointing. A group of five Democratic voters in Illinois had previously brought a lawsuit seeking to bar Donald Trump from the ballot in their state claiming that he had fomented an insurrection on January 6, 2001. The state election board unanimously rejected the petition with little comment on the case’s merits. But now, a Cook County Circuit Court judge has overridden the election board and ordered that Trump’s name be removed. She placed a stay on her own order until Friday to allow Trump to file an appeal. The matter is already before the Supreme Court, so this may all be for naught, but it’s yet another example of Democratic lawfare being waged against the former president. (Associated Press)
