California Court Allows Candidate to Run for Two Offices Simultaneously

California appellate court ruled that Republican Vince Fong can appear on the November ballot for both state Assembly and Congress, despite objections from the Secretary of State. If Fong wins both races, he would resign from the Assembly and head to D.C., triggering a special election to fill the Assembly vacancy. The decision has sparked concerns about chaos and voter disenfranchisement, leading to proposed bills aimed at addressing the confusion in election law.
