Candidate filing began this morning for the March 2020 Primary election and all those waiting in line to file at 8:00 a.m. when the doors opened are deemed to have filed at the exact same moment.
That means -- petition challenges and candidate withdrawals for any other reasons notwithstanding -- that the seven candidates for the 1st District Supreme Court vacancy and the six candidates for the two 1st District Appellate Court vacancies who were in line when the doors opened this morning all have an equal chance at the top ballot position in their race.
The top ballot line does confer some statistical advantage according to experts; in a crowded field, it may make the difference between victory and defeat.
Family business prevents me from delving further into the candidate filings at the moment. I will catch up as soon as possible.

Jack is treating the rest of us like sloppy seconds. I did all this work to get 500 petition signatures to get on the ballot and Jack has ignored me because I am not 30-something narcissist running for Supreme Court.
Jon Loevy is not bankrolling Epstein the way Bob Clifford is trying to buy the seat for McBride. I should go buy a seat too.
