YAHOO
— At least 5 GOP-led states (Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Tennessee, and Utah) have a new Pride Month tradition — renaming June. Republicans are working overtime to create GOP-branded alternatives to Pride Month that celebrate traditional marriage, “nuclear families,” and what some governors are calling “fidelity.”

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Aaron Del Mar, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, has filed objections with the Illinois State Board of Elections challenging more than 20,000 signatures submitted by independent gubernatorial candidate Collin Corbett. Validity question: Del Mar and Republican activist Kristina McCloy contend that a review of Corbett’s petitions uncovered “thousands of potentially invalid signatures,” according to a statement announcing the challenge. “Illinois voters deserve fair, transparent and lawful elections,” Del Mar said in a statement. He is running alongside Republican gubernatorial nominee Darren Bailey. Corbett’s campaign said it was “reviewing the objection, but we know we have over 25,000 valid signatures, so we’re not worried,” via the Tribune. Why it matters: In Illinois politics, petition season is often the first campaign — and sometimes the most consequential. Ballot challenges can knock candidates out before a single vote is cast. What’s next: Election lawyers, hearing officers and signature experts now take center stage as the Illinois State Board of Elections begins sorting through the competing claims. Petitions must be certified by Aug. 21, according to the Board of Elections.
