[LPIL - Board of Directors] Fwd: Kennedy, et al v. Illinois State Board of Elections 24cv7027

Fri Aug 23 18:05:16 EDT 2024

Although I’m not a member of the SCC, this was forwarded to the BOD. 
I support the LPIL being Plaintiff in this suit. 

Hopefully RFK Jr continues his pursuit of our fundamental rights via this lawsuit despite ending his campaign.
