From Politico:

Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel won a crucial ruling from Chicago election authorities Wednesday night, when the official charged with hearing challenges to Emanuel’s residency determined the mayoral candidate should be allowed to appear on the ballot.

Joseph Morris urged the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners to approve Emanuel’s candidacy, writing that his opponents “failed to bear their burdens of proof” as they challenged his right to appear as a candidate for local office.

“The preponderance of this evidence establishes that the Candidate never formed an intention to terminate his residence in Chicago; never formed an intention to establish his residence in Washington, D.C., or any place other than Chicago; and never formed an intention to change his residence,” Morris wrote
