Illinois State Senator Cristina Pacione-Zayas has raised questions about a potential conflict of interest after a review of deleted social media posts from fellow Democrat, Senator Susan C. McMorrow. McMorrow's deleted posts, which date back to 2016, appear to reveal that she claimed to be a resident and voter in California, despite running for office in Illinois. The revelation has sparked concerns that McMorrow may have filed false election paperwork, as Illinois law requires candidates to be residents of the district they seek to represent. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether McMorrow will face any consequences for her past statements.
McMorrow’s deleted posts include a series of tweets where she described herself as a California resident and voter as late as July 2016.
