GUEST COMMENTARY: Straight-party voting doesn’t empower people; it protects dominant parties

This guest commentary is presented by Heath Haussamen from New Mexico Politics. All links listed in the commentary will remain for this publication. Elections systems should make voting easy for qualified voters, but not at the expense of encouraging people to make informed decisions. The state’s recent move to consolidate most local elections is an important change because it simplifies voting and empowers people. Starting in 2019, New Mexicans will have an easier time knowing when elections are held. Because they have […]

Judge allows lawsuit accusing Madigan of running ‘sham candidates’ to go forward

CHICAGO (Illinois News Network) -- A Federal judge has ruled that a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Michael Madigan of running "sham candidates" in a 2016 election can move forward.

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- Fair Vote, a non-partisan election reform group, advocates for a move to ranked-choice voting. Under the system, voters have the ability to rank as many candidates as they want in order of preference.

He said ranked-choice could improve the system by eliminating the so-called “spoiler effect.” “It gives everybody the ability to vote for […]

After narrow primary defeat, Ives supporters mixed on whether they’ll support Rauner in November

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois News Network) -- After Gov. Bruce Rauner narrowly defeated challenger Jeanne Ives in the primary for Illinois’ Republican candidate for governor, the question is now whether the first-term governor can persuade frustrated conservatives to vote for him this fall. When the numbers were tallied, Rauner had bested the conservative suburban Chicago lawmaker. But Ives turned out to be something more than the fringe candidate Rauner portrayed her as early in the campaign. He won by 20,000 votes, according […]

COMMENTARY: The establishment choices in Illinois are horrible. Vote different.

An unmitigated disaster that is the two-party system with one-party rule in Illinois and America contributed to such a dismal showing in Tuesday's primary election. That disaster comes in the form of two establishment representatives of the Republican and Democratic parties. The first half of this disaster is current Republican governor Bruce Rauner, who has been experiencing quite a backlash from staunch conservatives since he signed bills into law allowing for taxpayer funding of abortion procedures and the establishment of […]
