伊利诺伊州最高法院裁定民主支持的反交叉投票法违宪。 Illinois Supreme Court ruled a Democratic-backed anti-crossover voting law unconstitutional.
伊利诺伊州最高法院维持下级法院的裁决,认为一项民主支持的禁止政党在初选后选择大会候选人的法律违宪。 Illinois Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling, deeming a Democratic-backed law prohibiting political parties from choosing General Assembly candidates after primaries as unconstitutional. 这项法律于5月颁布,旨在通过阻止共和党人起草候选人来帮助民主党。 The law, enacted in May, aimed to help Democrats by preventing Republicans from drafting candidates. 这项裁决由两名法官自行撤销,具有与确认下级法院意见同等的份量,但缺乏先例价值。 The ruling, with two justices recusing themselves, carries the same weight as affirming the lower court's opinion but lacks precedent value. 伊利诺伊州选举委员会继续接受请愿书签名,并裁定候选人的资格。 The Illinois State Board of Elections continues to accept petition signatures and rule on candidate eligibility.
