Illinois Officials to Weigh Whether to Remove Donald Trump from the State’s Primary Ballot

The Illinois State Board of Elections is expected to vote Tuesday on whether former President Trump should be removed from the state’s primary ballot under the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment.

The forthcoming decision comes after retired Republican judge Clark Erickson, who oversaw a hearing on Friday, recommended on Sunday that the state’s election board dismiss voters’ petition to remove Trump from the ballot, arguing the board did not have time or authority to properly consider the matter before the March 19 primary.

He said there was “no opportunity for meaningful discovery or subpoena of witnesses” and that state laws “prohibit the Election Board from addressing issues involving constitutional analysis.”
