Illinois board votes unanimously to keep Trump on primary ballot

Board of elections decision decided on narrow procedural grounds and will likely be appealed

The Illinois board of elections has voted unanimously to keep Donald Trump on its primary ballot, rejecting objections brought by voters who challenged Trump's eligibility on grounds that he had aided in insurrection on January 6.

The decision was made on narrow procedural grounds, and is almost certain to be appealed. It is just the latest in a mixed series of official rulings on whether Trump can appear on the ballot amid a wave of challenges to his candidacy in multiple states.
