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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The resign-to-run requirement in section 99.012(7) of the Florida Statutes is enforced by section 99.021[,] which provides that “[ejach candidate ... for nomination or election to any office other than a judicial office as defined in chapter 105, shall take and subscribe to an oath or affirmation in writing.” Plaintiff swore, under the Oath of Candidate, “that he has resigned from any office from which he is required to resign pursuant to Section 99.012, Florida Statutes.” Hence, when Plaintiff signed the Oath of Candidate, he made a sworn affirmation of resignation. This Court finds that Plaintiff resigned hy operation of law, pursuant to section 99.012(7) of the Florida Statutes.”
