The Illinois State Board of Elections website reports that Antoinette D. Weston withdrew from the 3rd Subcircuit race yesterday. Three others remain in that race, Judge Patrick Thomas Stanton, Michael Hayes, and Kevin Patrick Cunningham. An objection to Hayes' candidacy remains pending.
Ubi O'Neal withdrew from the race for the Valarie Turner vacancy in the 2nd Subcircuit on January 8. Yesterday, according to the ISBE website, he was also removed from the race for the 2nd Subcircuit Willis vacancy.
On the other hand, the objection to Erika Orr's 1st Subcircuit candidacy was overruled by the Cook County Electoral Board on January 9. Absent the filing of petition for judicial review in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Orr is now free to proceed with her challenge to Judge Litricia Payne in the race for the Hambright, Jr. vacancy.
In other action taken by the Electoral Board on January 9, a challenge to the candidacy of Judge H. Yvonne Coleman (who is seeking the Banks vacancy in the 5th Subcircuit) was overruled, as were challenges to the candidacies of Bonnie McGrath (8th Subcircuit, Fabri vacancy) and Danny Collins (4th Subcircuit, Riley vacancy).
Judge Liz Karkula has been removed from the Fabri ballot.
