Early Voting Pushed Back

Early voting for the Spring 2016 primary is scheduled to begin February 4th. It won't. In a joint announcment McLean County Clerk Kathy Michael and Bloomington City Election Commission Executive Director Paul Shannon say challenges to a number of presidential nominees means ballots won't be available until February 17, at the earliest. The challenges are against Democrats Hillary Clinton, Martin J. O’Malley, Roque “Rocky” De La Fuente, Larry (Lawrence) Cohen and Bernie Sanders. And Republicans Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
