In a significant move that may impact the 2024 presidential primary in Illinois, Beth Findley Smith, an Illinois voter and LaSalle County’s District 4 board member, has spearheaded a legal challenge to remove President Joe Biden from the state ballot. This objection, rooted deeply in the adherence to state-specific legal requirements, highlights a meticulous approach to election law and underscores the importance of every detail in the electoral process.

Exclusive Statement from the Challenger:

"In the heartland of democracy, every detail matters. My objection to Joseph R. Biden, Jr.’s candidacy in the Illinois primary election is rooted in a commitment to the integrity of our electoral process. A Statement of Candidacy, a fundamental document in his Nomination Papers, should bear the stamp of our local trust – notarized by a Notary Public commissioned by the State of Illinois. We must ensure that every candidate upholds the standards set by our great state. Let this objection stand as a testament to our unwavering dedication to the principles that safeguard the essence of fair and transparent elections in Illinois.”
