Democratic candidate for Governor Abdul El-Sayed is asking a court to declare him eligible for the ballot this year. Bridgereports that the former Detroit health director filed the request in Wayne County Circuit Court. Questions have been raised over whether El-Sayed’s time in New York makes him ineligible to run for governor this year. The Michigan Constitution says candidates for governor have to be qualified voters in Michigan for four years before the election. El-Sayed has said he is eligible to run for governor.
