Court Tosses Rahm Emanuel Off Chicago Mayoral Ballot
CHICAGO (CBS) – The Illinois Appellate Court has tossed mayoral frontrunner Rahm Emanuel off the ballot, reversing the decision of a lower court.
The Appellate Court reached a 2-1 decision to remove Emanuel.
Appellate judges Thomas Hoffman and Shelvin Louise Marie Hall ruled against Emanuel. Justice Bertina Lampkin voted in favor of keeping President Obama’s former chief of staff on the Feb. 22 ballot.
In response to the decision, Emanuel said he believes the people of Chicago “deserve the right” to pick whom they want for mayor, and that he believes the law is on his side.
