Dan Balanoff, who had filed for the Gubin vacancy in the 8th Subcircuit, withdrew his candidacy yesterday, according to the Illinois State Board of Elections.
Pat Casey, who had also filed in that race, withdrew on January 3.
These withdrawals leave Judge Michael A. Forti -- who had been appointed to the Gubin vacancy in late 2018 -- unopposed in the March Democratic Primary. No Republican filed for the vacancy, so Judge Forti will almost certainly be sworn into that vacancy on the first Monday in December of this year.
Forti no longer holds that vacancy, however; he left it when he accepted selection as a Cook County Associate Judge.

just the situation that was discussed before the AJ election. Forti will certainly take the full circuit robe and this means someone else could have been elected to AJ. How many other cases will there be like this. Will Mays win ? How about Tiernan ? Neither has withdrawn.
This was why so many questioned why have the AJ election when it was. Waiting a few more months would not have toppled the Daley Center and avoided these outcomes.
Welcome back sir! Hope all is well with the family.
Amen! (To the comment)
So what. Have another AJ election.
Where was the article in Politico announcing his withdrawal.
