The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Rahm Emanuel was thrown off the ballot for mayor of Chicago today by an appellate court panel, a stunning blow to the fund-raising leader in the race.

An appellate panel ruled 2-1 that Emanuel did not meet the residency standard to run for mayor.

Emanuel is expected to appeal the decision to the Illinois Supreme Court.
