Mayra Macías was removed from the November ballot in Illinois’s 4th Congressional District after the state elections board found she did not have enough valid petition signatures. The ruling also kept fellow independent Byron Sigcho-Lopez off the ballot, leaving Patty Garcia in a stronger position in the race. Macías and the other affected candidates may still pursue legal challenges. Earlier, she had qualified for the ballot before the signature challenges were resolved.
