Judge orders state to scrap ballot wording month before vote
In an unprecedented move just 34 days before the election, a Cook County judge on Wednesday ordered the language of a statewide referendum on the constitutional convention modified, calling aspects of the current proposal misleading and false.
Circuit Judge Nathaniel R. Howse said he was not persuaded that the language in the call for a constitutional convention was accurate and ordered the state to draft notices informing voters of the change to the original ballot question by Friday.
