Rahm back on Ballot
*BREAKING*
Ill. court issues stay ~ Rahm back on the ballot First Read - Ill. court issues stay; Rahm back on the ballot The Illinois Supreme Court has just issued a stay of the appeals court's order knocking Rahm Emanuel off the ballot and directing the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners to restore his name to the ballot. This is a strong indication that the court will accept the case and, perhaps, of which way the justices are leaning. Less than 24 hours after an Illinois appeals court bumped Rahm Emanuel off the ballot for Chicago's election for mayor, the state's supreme court put that ruling on hold and ordered the city to include his name on any ballots being printed. "The Board of Elections is directed that if any ballots are printed while this Court is considering this case, the ballots should include the name of petitioner Rahm Emanuel as a candidate for Mayor of the City of Chicago," the Supreme Court said in a one-page, unsigned order. The court said it acted after receiving legal briefs from Emanuel and from his legal opponents who claimed he was unqualified because he did not meet residency requirements of state law. Today's order left unresolved whether the state's high court would take up the entire case on a speeded-up basis, but the order gave Emanuel the rapid relief he was seeking -- to keep his name on the ballot. |

If Hillary Clinton, an Arkansas resident by way of the White House, can become a New York Senator, I don't see why Rahm can't run for Chicago mayor. At least he is actually from the Chicago area.
You'd think New Yorkers would have not appreciated reverse carpet bagging. You'd think. |

Well this sucks. I was sure Rahm would be the first Chicago mayor who was elected without being on any ballot.

I guess he can always have the Governor of Hawaii seal his residency records and the voters can just take his word for it.
