From Richard Winger’s Ballot Access News
Today was the last day for anyone in Illinois to file an objection to a petition filed by an independent candidate, or the petition of a previously unqualified or new party. No one challenged any of the four petitions turned in for president. Those petitions were for the Libertarian, Constitution and New Parties, and Ralph Nader as an independent.

An objection was filed Monday to the week-old 10th Congressional District candidacy of Allan Stevo of Highwood.
Stevo, 28, was required to submit at least 10,285 signatures to get on the Nov. 4 ballot as an independent.
Georgia is the only state with a higher signature requirement than Illinois for Other candidates to run for US House, but they have 180 days to get the signatures versus 90 days for Illinois. On a signature per day calcucation, Illinois most often has the highest requirement to run for US House in the US. It’s easier to run for the Iragi National Assembly than it is the US House from Illinois.
Allan Stevo was a Ron Paul supporter in the Republican Presidential Primary.

Evidence of lazy reporters and lazy politician wannabes. Nader learned the value of the media and got all the coverage from turning in his signatures. The others that turned in their signatures, not so much. And the reporters were too lazy to go check if there were other candidates that filed. Illinois is totally sad.
