## Opinion text

MR. CHIEF JUSTICE WARD, dissenting:
I would add only this comment to Justice Goldenhersh’s persuasive dissent. The majority acknowledges that a court must give effect to what the legislature intended, but then remarkably (to me) it ignores plain language and says we should read “a complete list of candidates” as “a list of candidates.” This of course has the effect of rewriting the sentence, and it nullifies the legislature’s specification (“*** a complete list”).
