FILE - Illinois House Assistant Majority Leader Jay Hoffman, D-Swansea, addresses reporters, March 24, 2022, in Springfield, Ill. Illinois Democrats have changed the way candidates for the General Assembly get on the ballot, and Republicans are complaining that they changed the rules mid-game. The measure's sponsor, Hoffman, was asked whether the timing invites courtroom chaos with legal challenges from those shut out. In a written statement, he skirted that question.
