CHICAGO (AP) — The Illinois Supreme Court has agreed to hear Rahm Emanuel’s appeal of a decision that threw him off the ballot for Chicago mayor.
Supreme Court spokesman Joe Tybor says the justices will hear the case quickly. But he gave no specific time frame.
Emanuel has asked the court to overturn the lower ruling that pulled his name off the ballot because he had not lived in the city for a year. His attorneys called Monday’s decision “squarely inconsistent” with previous rulings on the issue.
