MURPHYSBORO – U.S. Rep. Mike Bost (IL-12) Wednesday released the following statement following a Cook County judge’s ruling removing President Donald J. Trump from the March 19th Illinois Republican Primary ballot.
“A Chicago judge has put her will above the will of Illinois’ Republican voters. This is blatant election interference and it must not stand,” said Bost. “President Trump has never even been charged with insurrection, much less convicted of it. Yet the judge took it upon herself to order the Board of Elections to remove President Trump from the state’s ballot citing an insurrection clause. This egregious move further proves that radical liberals will stop at nothing to prevent President Trump from occupying the White House again. We must protect President Trump’s access to the ballot and defend the right of Illinois’ voters to determine who they want as their next president.”
