AZ Candidate Who Changed His Name to ‘Cesar Chavez’ Thrown Off Ballot
The Arizona congressional candidate who changed his name to Cesar Chavez and switched to the Democratic party was thrown off the ballot by a judge on Tuesday, according to Fusion.
Chavez was removed from the ballot because 700 of his nomination petition signatures were invalid.
He was sued by Alejandro Chavez, who charged that the candidate misled voters by filing to run for the seat before switching his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat. The lawsuit also contended that any signatures collected before he switched parties are invalid.
