Ill. High Court Denies Appeal On Ballot Question

CHICAGO (AP) ― The Illinois Supreme Court says a review of how to fix inaccuracies on the November ballot should be decided by an appellate court.

The Chicago Bar Association, Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn and others asked the high court to directly reverse the remedy for the faulty ballot because so little time remains before the Nov. 4 election. But the court turned down that plan.

A Cook County judge agreed earlier this month that language explaining a vote on whether to convene a constitutional convention was inaccurate and misleading.

He ordered notices be given to each voter.

The bar association and Quinn want ballots themselves fixed. An appellate court hearing is scheduled later in the day.
