PHOENIX — Hugh Lytle can continue to run for the No Labels nomination for governor despite the fact he did not comply with a state law requiring him to list his home address on his paperwork.
In a new ruling, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Michael Mandell said even Lytle conceded that he does not “reside” at a UPS store where he gets mail that he listed as his residence on nomination papers. And that, the judge said “did not strictly comply with the literal requirements” of state election law.
But Mandell said the legal test in Arizona for kicking someone off the ballot is whether their nomination papers and petition “substantially complied” with the law. And he said that is the case here.
