CHICAGO (AP) — A Cook County judge has upheld an
election board's decision to keep former White House chief of staff Rahm
Emanuel on the Chicago mayoral ballot. Cook County Circuit Court Associate Judge Mark
Ballard said Tuesday that there was sufficient evidence to support the board's
conclusion that Emanuel intended to remain a Chicago resident and did not
abandon his city residency. Attorney Burt Odelson, who represents two Chicago
voters who have challenged Emanuel's residency, had said if he lost in court
Tuesday he will take the case to the Illinois Appellate Court and then to the
state Supreme Court. The Chicago Board of Election Commissioners has
already voted to allow Emanuel on the Feb. 22 ballot, saying he meets residency
requirements. Emanuel moved back to Chicago in October. Copyright
