Daley Maintains Ballot. Four Challengers Allowed
Chicago mayoral race stays on the February ballot as four challengers fail to submit 25,000 signatures. Daley alone met the requirement while Rev. Paul Jakes, Rev. Joseph McAfee, Patricia McAllister, and Robert Floyd Plump fell short. The board cited ambiguity in state law and opted to keep all candidates on the ballot rather than invoke apparent conformity.
