State Senator Sally Turner (R-Beason) expressed her dismay following the passage of Senate Bill 2412, which brings significant changes to Illinois' election process during the ongoing election cycle. Turner, a former County Clerk with over a decade of experience in administering elections, criticized the Majority Party's decision in a strong statement.

In her response, Senator Turner stated, "This legislation will limit the people’s ability to choose who they want to be their representative voice when they head to the ballot box this November. Our nation is built on the fundamental foundation of free and fair elections. Senate Bill 2412 undermines that foundation and is clearly undemocratic."

Senator Turner's condemnation highlights the significance of maintaining the integrity of elections and ensuring that the people's voices are heard without interference.

The decision to implement such changes in the midst of an ongoing election cycle has drawn criticism from various quarters, with Senator Turner's strong words underscoring the gravity of the situation. As the debate surrounding Senate Bill 2412 continues, stakeholders and the public alike will be closely monitoring its implications on the electoral landscape of Illinois.
