On April 7, East St. Louis, Illinois, held an election for Mayor and other city office. The incumbent Mayor, Alvin Parks Jr., wanted to run for re-election, but the State Supreme Court had removed him from the ballot because he didn’t have enough valid signatures. He then campaigned as a write-in candidate, placing second and defeating one of the candidates whose name was on the ballot. See this story. Thanks to Ken Bush for the link.
