With almost 75% of the vote counted, Emanuel had almost 55% of the vote, far outdistancing his rivals.

How was he even on the ballot when he was disqualified on eligibility grounds? Did I miss something?

Not surprising.

[Son-of-Liberty]

With all the effort expended to get him in, makes me wonder if Chicago is next in line for a terror attack.
