Illinois Supreme Court Halts Printing of Chicago Mayoral Ballots Without Emanuel's Name
The Illinois Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered Rahm Emanuel's
name back on the ballot, a day after an appellate court ruled
him ineligible to run for mayor of Chicago, and told election
officials not to print any ballots that exclude Mr. Emanuel's
name.
The Court did not rule on other matters, including whether it
will actually hear an appeal in the case, which challenged
Mr. Emanuel's legal residency in Chicago.
Some analysts, though, said the stay of the lower court
ruling suggested that the Supreme Court's seven justices were
at least considering it. On Monday, a panel of the Illinois
Appellate Court ruled that Mr. Emanuel's time as White House
chief of staff - a post he left last October -- meant he did
not meet a state stipulation to having lived in the city for
a year before Election Day, and that he would not appear on
the Feb. 22 ballot.
