Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Generally, the laws governing the conduct of elections should be liberally construed so as to promote rather than defeat a candidacy, Slocum v. DeWitt, 374 So.2d 755 (La.App. 3d Cir.), writ denied, 375 So.2d 1182 (La.1979), and any doubt as to the qualifications of a candidate should be resolved in favor of permitting the candidate to run for public office. Dixon v. Hughes, 587 So.2d 679 (La.1991).”
