===New state law could disqualify potential coroner candidate===
I think that law violates the First Amendment and should be struck down or repealed. Running for office is political speech, but this law seems to pit your right to run for office against your right to vote. It’s basically saying, “If you want to run for office on our ticket, you’d better vote for the guys we want.” Like it or not, that restricts legitimate political speech. If I were Ralston, I’d be talking to an attorney right now.

Watching Chicago’s top cop on Chicago Tonight last night was a pleasure.
Instead of sitting back like a bunch of politically correct Northwest wimps (Seattle, Portland), and allowing wastrel occupists to loot, burn and smash, Chicago’s cops out-thought and outmaneuvered the worst elements of the protesters.
It was refreshing to see someone handle the typical condescending Chicago Tonight bias so easily.

@infidel - the portion of the party switching law that prevents someone who votes in one party’s primary from filling a vacancy for the other party is derived from case law. That point has already been litigated, and the new statute codifies existing law.
