SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois State Board of Elections will have several petition challenges to consider for the March 15th GOP and Democrat presidential primaries.
Objections to the petitions of Democrat candidates Hillary Clinton, Roque "Rocky" de La Fuente, Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley and Larry (Lawrence Cohen) were filed Wednesday, the last day to raise objections.
Republicans Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz's petitions are also being challenged. William Graham of Glen Ellyn Illinois is challenging both Rubio and Cruz, and Lawrence Joyce of Poplar Grove Illinois is also challenging Cruz's qualifications to be on the Illinois GOP ballot.
