Rahm Emanuel has trouble? running into dirty (or at least petty) politics?

This afternoon, two petitions were filed at the Chicago Board of Elections challenging Rahm Emanuel's eligibility to run for Chicago Mayor based on Illinois' election law residency requirement.

The petitions were issued and signed by two separate registered Chicago voters, Paul McKinley and Marie Wohadlo

The petition claims a) Rahm Emanuel is not a registered voter at the Chicago address identified in his nomination papers and b) he has not resided in the City of Chicago for at least one year prior to the mayor's Election (Feb 22, 2011) (which is required by IL election law)

The address listed for Rahm Emanuel in his nomination papers is 754 N. Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL. That is Rahm's new Chicago address and is not the address Rahm has listed on his voter registration.(which is his family's house he is renting out, at 4228 N. Hermitage Ave, Chicago)

We are expecting more objections against Rahm's residency status to be filed at Chicago Board of Elections this Friday, Nov 26, by a prominent election law attorney, Burt Odelson, who happens to be advising another mayoral candidate in the race.(Rev James Meeks)

The deadline to file objections is next Tuesday Nov 30th. Following the deadline, the Chicago Board of Elections holds multiple hearings to address the objections. The ultimate decision will most likely be decided in court. One attorney says he's prepared to take it all the way to the Illinois Supreme Court if necessary.
