In the past, it may have felt like little would change in Illinois, no matter who won open seats on the seven-member court. But this year, if a new majority assumes control, things could go in a different direction quickly.“These races should be at the top of the ballot, not at the bottom,” said Kathleen Sances, president and CEO of G-PAC, a gun-safety group.

Easy access to voting could become a thing of the past. Nathaniel Davis, 21, has been charged with deadly conduct in the shooting of two employees of a taco truck June 12 in southeast Houston and is on the run.” The homes have comfortable kitchens, private outdoor space, and plenty of natural light, as well as a dedicated covered parking space and secure bike storage for each unit. Laws designed to reduce gun violence could be upended.

But a lawsuit has been brought to reinstate the Illinois trigger law, and a newly constituted Supreme Court could do so, as Ramos, a former state legislator and former head of the Illinois Department of Heath Care and Family Services, points out. If that happens, Illinois law would prohibit abortions unless necessary for the preservation of the mother’s life. “This was a really tremendous blessing for me to be able to afford to live in California,” Powell said “I owned a place in the Seattle area but because of the 2008 market crash I lost my place and so coming here helped me to get back on my feet.

If voters ignore Supreme Court races, it will be hard to undo balloting results they don’t like in future elections. Justices are elected to 10-year terms and then run on a retention ballot — not against an opponent — which generally means they get another term.

To see big money used to sway elections is terrible at any level, but “to see it play out in judicial races in particular, it is that much more galling,” state Rep.
