Order is restored in the universe: Cook County Democratic Party slated judicial candidate petitions were filed at 8:00 a.m.

So the time-stamp now says on the ISBE website. The slate wasn't there at 11:00 a.m., even though post-8:00 a.m. petitions were being posted on the ISBE site. But it's there now.

I just put through a comment from (who else?) Anonymous who said, in pertinent part, "It's taking the ISBE a long time to load the 'mega' slate petitions. But rest assured, the Cook County Democratic Party Countywide Slate filed today at 8:00 AM."

Technical difficulties is the explanation, then. If I learn something more, I will share. Meanwhile, we move on.
