CHICAGO — The Illinois Electoral Board on Wednesday struck five supporters of political extremist Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. from the Democratic primary ballot. The board agreed with a finding by its hearing officer that the slate of five pro-LaRouche candidates had only 3,865 of the required 5,000 valid signatures to get on the ballot in March.
LaRouche is serving a 15-year federal prison term for fraud and conspiracy.
