The Chicago mayoral election ballot order was determined by a lottery Tuesday, with several candidates trying to claim the top spot.
The first six were in the lottery drawing held Tuesday morning, with the top spot traditionally considered beneficial, although there is no scientific evidence to prove that.
The candidates tried to downplay the significance of the drawing, but if Green gets knocked off the ballot, King has the most to gain"I think people are going to find the person who they resonate with no matter where you are on the ballot, but it's helpful to be at the top, I believe and we'll see how that all plays out," Buckner said.
"Well, I think my name is already out there, and people are going to search for who they want to vote for," Wilson said. Ja'Mal Green was not at the drawing, but his campaign manager called winning the top spot a dream come true for Green. Green, Wilson, Sawyer, Collins and Logalbo are all facing petition challengers, which could impact the candidates on the final ballot. Hearings on those challenges will take place over the next two months.
