'The plain language of the statute and the form sworn to under penalty of perjury require a residential address,' the lawsuit said. 'A post office box is not a residential address.'
Arizona Republican Representative Shawnna Bolick may be kept off the ballot during the next election because of a lawsuit which claims Bolick listed the address of a UPS Store as her primary residence on her nomination petitions. Because she swore the information was true under penalty of perjury, her address listing on the forms may have made Bolick ineligible to run.
All candidates are required by state law to provide their correct residential address on electoral paperwork, something the plaintiff in Monday's lawsuit said Bolick did not do. "The requirement that a candidate provide an actual residential address on the nominating papers is such a mandatory requirement that is not subject to substantial compliance analysis," the lawsuit continued."Defendant simply, and likely willingly, disregarded the requirement."
After listing her primary residence as a post office box, a lawsuit was filed against Arizona Representative Shawnna Bolick on Monday that alleged she was ineligible to run for office., Bolick's legal counsel Kory Langhofer said the lawsuit"lacks merit."
