Trump files in IL -

[Senator Cris]

Christie files too. The campaign submitted more than 22.000 signatures and a full slate of delegates and alternatives from all CDs. To be honest, I didn't expect a so solid Christie organization in Illinois.

[Mr. Morden]

Ballotpedia says that the Minnesota caucuses had a deadline today, but I can't find any info on it out there in the interwebs.

[bigedlb]

Illinois has only four Republicans so far with complete Delegate slates; Trump, Cruz, Christie and Bush.  Rubio said he would file by Wedbesday's Deadline, and Clinton is the only Dem, though Sanders said he would file by Wednesday's deadline.
No Kasich, Carson, Fiorina or Paul...So far...

No Kasich, Carson, Fiorina or Paul...So far...

They know they're out by New Hampshire the latest.

[Ebsy]

Sanders must be having difficulty collecting signatures in the farflung congressional districts in Illinois.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Rubio's twitter indicates he filed in IL

[Lief 🗽]

Rubio's twitter indicates he filed in IL

Full congressional delegate slates though? That's the ticket, Rubs. Filing in IL = filing for a beauty contest.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Rubio has only filed for the ballot itself right now, but will apparently file a full slate of delegates by Wednesday. Sanders won't file at all until then.

Also, Trump and Christie are technically one delegate short of a full slate as one person is filed as a delegate for both Trump AND Christie. They'd have to choose one at convention, though such choice won't matter unless the nomination comes down to one vote.

[Mr. Morden]

According to this story:

http://ballot-access.org/2016/01/04/ten-republican-presidential-candidates-qualify-for-district-of-columbia-caucus/

Gilmore and Huckabee both failed to make it onto the DC ballot.  All of the other remaining GOP candidates made it.

[bigedlb]

Illinois - O'Malley filed for the "beauty contest", and 25 delegates I various districts.

[Mr. Morden]

Clinton, Sanders, O'Malley, and De La Fuente all made it onto the MN Democratic caucus ballot:

Not sure about the GOP caucus ballot.

[Ebsy]

Today is going to be exciting on this front.

[An American Tail: Fubart Goes West]

Today is going to be exciting on this front.

I know that there's the Illinois deadline; what else is there?

[ill ind]

Il update

 There is 1 stray delegate filing for Gilmore in the 10th, and 1 stray delegate filing for Sanders in the 7th.  Rand Paul has also filed for the beauty contest portion of the race.

[ill ind]

  As of lunch time, you can add Fiorina to the GOP beauty contest and De La Fuente to the Dem one.  A rogue Clinton delegate candidate has filed and 2 have filed to be Huckabee delegates.

[Holmes]

Is the deadline at midnight?

[ill ind]

5:00pm CDT

Looks like Fiorina is going to have delegates--so far slates have been filed for Districts 1 and 2.
Huckabee has filed for the beauty contest.

[YPestis25]

Wait so has Sanders still not filed?

[bigedlb]

Somebody named Rocky de la Fuente filed for Dems.  More Fiorina delegates filing.  Office closes 5:00 CST.  SANTORUM delegates filing one by one

[ill ind]

  So far 4 Santorum delegates have filed.  I'm guessing that these are individuals and not an effort by the campaign.  There are 2 individuals who filed as Huckabee delegates as well.  Both candidates will probably have pretty incomplete slates when the day is done.

Ill Ind

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Did Santorum and Huckabee file for the beauty contest?

[bigedlb]

43 Fiorina delegates so far, 11 Santorum, 2 Huckabee

[ill ind]

Yes Santorum and Huckabee did file for the beauty contest as did Rand Paul also.
Some dude from Chicago named Larry Cohen has filed in the Dem beauty contest too.

[ill ind]

  Sanders has now filed for the beauty contest.  We'll see in the next couple of hours whether or not he has complete slates of delegates.  Clinton has filled 102 delegate spots, O'Malley 41,Sanders ?
