The Libertarian Celebration says his identify is a complete coincidence.
Whereas the Libertarian Jesse White is just not on the poll but, the Illinois State Board of Elections nonetheless should approve his signatures.
If he’s accepted, he shall be operating in opposition to Democrat Alexi Giannoulias and Republican Dan Brady.

Giannoulias has not issued a remark.
