No, the success of the stay is unsurprising. Illinois election code, theoretically, favors ballot access. You’ll always get a presumption of successful appeal because so much depends on critical timing, ballot printing, timed advertising, the unmovable nature of election day, etc. Even the most disfavored candidate could’ve got the stay. Wait for the actual decision. I still think it goes against him.

Hey, if you can get an unqualified guy elected POTUS, doing the same for Chicago mayor is a walk in the park.
