Allan Stevo, an independent candidate for the 10th District U.S. House seat in Illinois, filed legal papers in federal court this week, seeking to prevent the state from printing ballots for the November election while his lawsuit seeking ballot access proceeds, the Highland Park News reports. Illinois State Board of Elections found late last month that Stevo “submitted less than 7,000 signatures on his nominating petitions, while independent candidates for the 10th District are required to submit at least 10,285 signatures.” Stevo filed suit in U.S. District Court challenging the decision.
