Did he perjure himself by filing a false affidavit to obtain his ballot from the precinct judges of election?

You mean the people did not know that Rahm Emmanuel was working as Chief of Staff for the President and the temporary job is in DC? His voting status was changed back to active and he voted. The Board of Elections knew the situation and they decided Rahm should be classified as active.

The good news for Rahm is that this piling on over a bogus charge is getting people to Rally behind him.

"The Election Code 10 ILCS 5/3‑2) Sec. 3‑2. (a) A permanent abode is necessary to constitute a residence within the meaning of Section 3‑1. No elector or spouse shall be deemed to have lost his or her residence in any precinct or election district in this State by reason of his or her absence on business of the United States, or of this State."

I would say Chief of Staff of the President is business of the United States.

Interesting point.

The judge will take that under consideration and deliberate on his future career.

It will come down to where he filed his taxes from address and where he has a driver’s licence, and where he voted. They will look at consistancy and you can bet its is squared away before an challenge to his ability to run.

I hate RATS, but this one will be allowed to run. But we need Blago on the April 21, 2011 trial to take the New Mayor of Chicago and shred him up along with Axelrod, and the Iman Obummer.

Now that would be Bashert (meant to be)
