On February 3, a lawsuit was filed in Sacramento Superior Court over the occupational designation of one of the candidates for Assembly, in the special election for the 4th district. California is the only state in which ballots list the occupation of candidates for state and federal office. See this story. UPDATE: the judge in this case said the lawsuit may have merit, but it was filed too late, so the candidate’s occupation, “small business woman” will be on the ballot. See this story.
