Decision 2018

Root declared winner of Macon sheriff’s race

Tony Brown likely to appeal court’s decision declaring Root winner by 16 votes

A recent court decision from a Champaign County judge declares Republican candidate Jim Root the victor in the 2018 race for Macon County sheriff. However, it appears that seeing an end to litigation over the election is far from over. Current sheriff Tony Brown stated over the weekend that he plans to appeal the order made by Champaign County Circuit Court Judge Anna M. Benjamin on Friday, May 28. The order declared that Root won the race by 16 votes, […]

Hearings for Macon County sheriff’s race concludes

Written arguments will now settle ongoing legal battle between Brown and Root

DECATUR -- While the courtroom hearings have concluded and the legal battle to determine whether Macon County Sheriff Tony Brown, a Democrat, retains his position or Republican challenger and fellow officer Lt.

Both Brown and Root appeared in a Macon County courtroom on Thursday, Feb. 11 in a final scheduled hearing before Judge Anna M. Benjamin, who was brought in from Champaign County to […]

Decision 2018

Early votes could push midterm turnout above 50 percent

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- More than 35 million people cast an early vote or absentee vote for the 2018 elections, an increase of more than 58 percent from 2014, preliminary data indicates. The midterm elections are seeing an unusually high number of early voters -- early voting in 27 states alone total more than totaled early votes nationwide for 2014 -- which likely means a historic boost to overall voter turnout for 2018. Midterm elections have historically low turnout numbers, rarely […]

Two millennial women face off in tight Detroit area House race

CANTON, Mich. (UPI) -- The affluent suburbs northwest of Detroit will send a millennial woman to Congress in November. The question is, will the voters of Michigan's 11th District stick with the Republican Party -- as they have for most of the last 135 years -- by electing Lena Epstein, 37, or step out of their comfort zone to elect a Democrat, 35-year-old Haley Stevens? The verdant subdivisions and lake communities of the district have sent a male Republican to […]

COMMENTARY: Voter choice and candidate suppression needs to become a criminal offense

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- Illinois is unfortunately known for political corruption and the suppression of voter and candidate choice. It's been a common and deceptive practice that has been going on for decades. 2018, unfortunately, is no different. As of several hours ago, a warning was given by the Libertarian Party of Illinois that the Illinois Republican Party is up their usual tricks again trying to throw the party slate off the general election ticket. PUTTING THE WORD OUT: Republicans are […]

GUEST EDITORIAL: Illinois unfairly suppresses third-party candidates

The following was previously published yesterday by the Belleville News-Democrat editorial board. Maybe voter suppression isn't our problem. Maybe it's candidate suppression. Do you know who Sam McCann is? How about Grayson "Kash" Jackson? They are two choices for Illinois governor. That may confuse most folks because most folks think the two choices were made March 20. That was the Illinois primary, when billionaire J.B. Pritzker got 45 percent of the vote against five other Democrats and billionaire Bruce Rauner eked out a […]

GUEST EDITORIAL: More candidates + more choices = more voters

The following guest editorial was previously published yesterday by the Northwest Herald editorial board. Monday was a day of significance on the Illinois electoral calendar, but just how much significance remains to be seen. That day marked the deadline for independent and third-party candidates to file nomination petitions for the fall’s general election ballot. With respect to all candidates in every such race across the state, we turn to the top of the ticket, where Libertarian Kash Jackson filed his […]

COMMENTARY: The establishment choices in Illinois are horrible. Vote different.

An unmitigated disaster that is the two-party system with one-party rule in Illinois and America contributed to such a dismal showing in Tuesday's primary election. That disaster comes in the form of two establishment representatives of the Republican and Democratic parties. The first half of this disaster is current Republican governor Bruce Rauner, who has been experiencing quite a backlash from staunch conservatives since he signed bills into law allowing for taxpayer funding of abortion procedures and the establishment of […]

Heartland Newsfeed to begin series on alternative candidates on Monday

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- It is no secret that the mainstream media gives way too much news coverage to elected officials and political candidates from the Democratic and Republican parties. We've kept coverage to a minimum besides coverage of statehouse affairs in Springfield. We at Heartland Newsfeed strive to avoid the political duopoly whenever possible. So this is where we come in: Beginning Monday, January 8, we are interviewing all third party candidates running for political offices in 2018. From what […]
