Elections: Residency Requirement – State Representative – Reapportioned District
Stephanie Maniscalco//June 20, 2012//
Where Rochelle Walton Gray challenged the qualifications of Sylvester Taylor II to run for election in the Democratic primary for state representative after the districts were redrawn under the reapportionment plan, the trial court properly found that Tayor met the residency requirement since Article III, Section 4 required only that he reside for one year in the county or any of the districts from which the new district was created.
Judgment is affirmed.
