Rahm’s Ballot Bumpers
Well, that didn’t take long. Rahm Emanuel is back on the ballot in Chicago, after the Illinois Supreme Court today issued a stay of yesterday’s appellate court decision the yanked Emanuel’s name from the mayoral race. This from Bloomberg:
The high court ordered the city’s election officials to include Emanuel’s name on any ballots printed as the third- largest U.S. city begins early voting on Jan. 31.
“It is ordered that emergency motion by petitioner Rahm Emanuel for stay pending appeal is allowed in part,” the court wrote in an order. “The appellate court decision is stayed. 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.”
So even if the Chicago Supremes ultimately disqualify Emanuel from the ballot, a decision that could take weeks to reach, his name will still be on the ballot?
What could possibly go wrong?
