(AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court said Monday it won’t stop a special election for President Barack Obama’s old Senate seat that leaves out current Illinois Sen. Roland Burris.
Burris had asked the high court to block plans for a special election to decide who serves out the final two months of the term, which began when Obama entered the Senate in 2005. Burris was appointed to the seat after Obama won the White House, and he’s not seeking a full Senate term in November.
