Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
PAPADAKOS, Justice,
dissenting.
I have read the erudite opinion of the majority and I remain unconvinced that one, not an elector, who cannot serve if elected, should be permitted to clutter up the ballot with his or her candidacy. I reiterate that if you can’t serve, you can’t run! We should recognize frivolity and deal with it accordingly.
