Rahm's legal camp maintains that another section of the Chicago election code states that residency requirement don't apply if the potential candidate was hired or appointed to an out-of-state federal position.

Looks like Emanuel will win this round.

Here's the relevant law: (65 ILCS 5/3.1‑10‑5) (from Ch. 24, par. 3.1‑10‑5) Sec. 3.1‑10‑5. Qualifications; elective office. (a) A person is not eligible for an elective municipal office unless that person is a qualified elector of the municipality and has resided in the municipality at least one year next preceding the election or appointment, except as provided in subsection (c) of Section 3.1‑20‑25, subsection (b) of Section 3.1‑25‑75, Section 5‑2‑2, or Section 5‑2‑11. (b) A person is not eligible for an elective municipal office if that person is in arrears in the payment of a tax or other indebtedness due to the municipality or has been convicted in any court located in the United States of any infamous crime, bribery, perjury, or other felony. (c) A person is not eligible for the office of alderman of a ward unless that person has resided in the ward that the person seeks to represent, and a person is not eligible for the office of trustee of a district unless that person has resided in the municipality, at least one year next preceding the election or appointment, except as provided in subsection (c) of Section 3.1‑20‑25, subsection (b) of Section 3.1‑25‑75, Section 5‑2‑2, or Section 5‑2‑11.

Did you ever think other wise. That's way the Daily Machine was created. It does NOT matter who votes your vote doesn't count the votes are in.
Remember the ballots in Nevada, they were already marked, do you honestly think any thing is different in Chicago.
Reid uses the homeless and illegals, the register the voters and those registered voters are automatic votes. they get paid well to do this. and then told to get out of town.
If the politicians could change the laws in Illinois to rip off the suberbs for the tax dollars because they ripped off the city of Chicago and they were on the verge of bankruptcy till Mayor Daily and Judge Austin declared it against the law for the suburbs to support themselves it was the only want they could cover up their crimes and save Chicago from bankruptcy.
Emanual couldn't succeed in bringing this country to it's knees so he will do his job from a far for the obozo to help bankrupt this country. I think if obozo can bankrupt Illinois,California, Nevada and New York the rest of the country will fall as well.
Clinton closed down the coal mine in Utah they poison the waters in Nevada with government chemicals they are calling flouride. they can stop the water flow to California and they already proved that, so now we have Alaska, another communist left that runs on the Republican ticket, they know the only way to get the votes would be on the Republican ticket, and it doesn't matter who they wrote in or how they spelled her name she will win out. Miller is fighting the Daily machine. Miller can't win, they don't want to drill for oil, they don't want the natural resources from Alaska, obozo and the communist left can't bring down this country if were are going to be able to rely on natural resources.
