A political committee that helped expand the Democratic majority on the Illinois Supreme Court and was backed by Illinois Senate President Don Harmon emptied its bank account just weeks after being notified it faced one of the largest state election fines ever for failing to timely disclose millions of dollars it spent until after last November’s election.
On Tuesday, the State Board of Elections issued a final order assessing $99,500 in fines against the All for Justice political action committee. The action followed a Tribune story earlier this year detailing the PAC’s reporting deficiencies as it spent more than $7.3 million on independent expenditures supporting Democratic Justices Elizabeth Rochford and Mary Kay O’Brien, both of whom won their campaigns and increased the court’s Democratic majority to 5-2 from a previous 4-3 advantage.
All for Justice was notified Aug. 3 by the state elections board it would be fined for 35 specific violations of failing to timely disclose to the public its spending on behalf of Rochford and O’Brien in the crucial closing months before the November 2022 election.

What? In Illinois? Someone is biting the hand that feeds them.
Drop in the bucket of cheaters’ cash.
What’s another hundred thousand dollars in a $8M campaign? That’s just another routine expense of doing business in Illinois.
The Democrats do not care about the fines. The two Supreme Court Justices will hold office for ten years at a minimum (barring unforeseen circumstances). It was all about winning at all costs.
Democrat language:
“Justice” = theft
Democrats are incapable of doing anything above board.
More like, “Justice = Whatever I say it is.”
Failing to timely disclose millions of dollars it spent until after last November’s election.
Off shore money must be about to dry up until new loophole is made.
So, they bought the seats, that was easy!
