## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- concluding a candidate for office substantially complied with the form required for declaration of candidacy because the document filed included all necessary elements, although it omitted the required precinct number

## Opinion text

Schneider, J.,
dissenting. The statute prescribes a form on which a blank for the precinct of residence is provided. It is neither for the Secretary of State nor for this court to question the reasonableness of the statutory requirement or to pick and choose whether this or that blank should be filled, in order to validate the petition. See State, ex rel. Reese, v. Bd. of Elections, 6 Ohio St. 2d 66 .
