No one appears to have filed for any Cook County judicial vacancy in the special filing period that ended today, according to the Illinois State Board of Elections website.
Dr. Willie Wilson did file, as expected, as a candidate for the U.S. Senate. A handful of Greens and Libertarians filed for a handful of legislative or congressional seats. Howie Hawkins and Angela Walker are the Green Party candidates for President and Vice President.
Candidates from the American Solidarity Party and the Party for Socialism and Liberation also filed for President and Vice President.
Someone did file for a judicial vacancy in the Downstate 6th Circuit, but all unopposed Cook County judicial candidates apparently remain unopposed.
Caveat: In preparing this post, I came across a Tweet, and eventually this news article on the State Journal-Register website, by Bernie Schoenburg, reporting that Kanye West filed for President minutes before the State Board of Elections closed this evening. That's not (yet) showing up on the ISBE website.
If Kanye's filing is not yet showing up on the website, perhaps there are others.
In prior election cycles, the ISBE website has been updated almost immediately (after the initial filing crunch) -- but, in this Never Ending Year of Pandemic, perhaps the Board's ability to promptly update the website is different, like the filing rules themselves. I'll check again in the morning.
