|, CANNIZZARO, J.

dissents with reasons.

I respectfully dissent from the majority.

The majority opinion concludes that the trial court judge did not err in finding that Mr. Barney was disqualified from running for a seat in the Third Senate District. Their finding is based on the following: (1) Mr. Barney was not an elector in the ward and precinct listed on his Notice of Qualification; and (2) the trial court judge was not manifestly erroneous in finding that Mr. Barney was not domiciled in the district that he sought to represent.
