1Opinion of the Court
11 BAGNERIS, J.
This suit involves an objection to the candidacy of Dwight “Twin” Alcorn for election to the office of member of Louisiana House of Representatives from District 100. This suit claims that Mr. Alcorn “fails to meet the qualifications for the office he seeks for the reason that the defendant does not and has not lived within the boundaries of said District 100 for the prior year as required by law.”
The central issue is whether the court below had proper jurisdiction over the person of the defendant to be able to render a valid judgment against him.
