Wow, this is a horrible, horrible ruling.

The court actually ruled that the current mayor was ineligible under the Hatch act because he worked at a medical facility that received federal funding.

Federal Funding like what is paid a senator?

Lawsuits filed by Burke contended that Bennett should not have been eligible to run for mayor because he worked as director of operations at the Hamilton Center, a not-for-profit mental health organization that receives federal funding through its Head Start program. The Hatch Act is a federal law that limits the political activity of employees of some not-for-profits that receive federal money.

That sounds ridiculous. Is there any chance it would be overturned?

That is a real lame excuse to overturn an election.
