Rahm Emmanuel was thrown of the Chicago mayoral ballot because in order to run for mayor, you must have resided there in the past year and not have moved recently. Emmanuel lived and grew up in Chicago but had to relocate to Washington to work with Obama to campaign. Emmanuel immediately repealed the decision to the Illinois supreme court. I think the rules should change because of this incident. Someone could want to run for a position for their home town but not have lived there for a while. Emanuel's name will now be on the ballot.
