Election Law Expert: Rahm Emanuel Ineligible To Run For Mayor

Attorney Burt Odelson, a noted elction-law expert, is predicting Rahm Emanuel will be ineligible for mayor because he is not a legal resident of Chicago.



Odelson told Roe and Roeper on WLS Radio that when Emanuel leased out his Chicago home he could no longer claim he is a resident.



“He rented his house out in Sept 09 and has not been back since and has no residency in Chicago,” Odelson said.



Odelson says he has been involved in several residency cases in Illinois that “the law is clear.” (source: WLS-AM)
