Cunningham v. Chicago Board of Election Commissioners (James B. Moran, N.D. Ill. 1:03-cv-1160)
A February 18, 2003, federal complaint alleged improper disqualification of candidates because of petition signatures by inactive voters. On February 21, the district judge denied the plaintiffs immediate relief because they had not shown that their preferred candidates would be on the ballot but for the disqualification of signatures by inactive voters. The issue was resolved by stipulation in a subsequent case.
