Illinois Election Board Upholds Trump's Eligibility for Primary Ballot

The Illinois State Board of Elections unanimously rejected a challenge to former President Donald Trump’s place on the state’s GOP primary ballot, citing a lack of authority to decide whether he was disqualified from holding the presidency under the U.S. Constitution’s “insurrection clause.” The decision, expected to be appealed, was met with gratitude from Trump, who thanked the board for protecting the country from the "Radical Left Lunatics." The board also dismissed objections to President Joe Biden appearing on the Democratic primary ballot.
