Illinois Senate Republican Leader John Curran has expressed his views following the Illinois Supreme Court's decision to dismiss an appeal by the Democrats. The appeal was against a lower court's ruling that Public Act 103-0586 was unconstitutional.
Curran criticized Governor Pritzker, stating, "Gov. Pritzker once again signed a purely partisan law that violated the constitutional rights of Illinois citizens." He further commented on what he perceives as an attempt to limit voter choice, saying, "This latest attempted power grab by Gov. Pritzker and the legislative Democrats that would have reduced voters’ choice in the upcoming election was thankfully rejected by the courts for the final time, and voters, rather than politicians, will have the final say on Election Day."
The dismissal marks another chapter in ongoing legal and political disputes surrounding election laws in Illinois.
