[EL] Law-election Digest, Vol 60, Issue 8

In Illinois, we enjoy an adversarial system of determining whether petition
signatures are valid. In essence, any petition is presumed valid unless an
objection is filed within 5 days of the last day for filing that petition.
That objection, if properly drafted, sets off a legal procedure by which
signatures are validated, and ultimately litigated. The process kicks off
at 10 ILCS 5/10-8. It is generally a highly adversarial process.
