1. “AND NOW, this 20th day of April, 2001, the single-judge order of the Commonwealth Court is VACATED, and the matter is REMANDED for proceedings consistent with that court’s precedent. See In re Nomination Petition of Hacker, 728 A.2d 1033, 1035 (Pa.Cmwlth. 1999) (concluding that “we do not believe that [a candidate’s] listing a different address as his residence is such a material defect in his candidate’s affidavit that it would cause his nominating petition to be set aside because it is undisputed that both of his addresses are in [the county in which office was sought]”). The Commonwealth Court may make specific findings concerning Appellant’s intentions or other factors that would bear upon the determination of whether Appellant should be included on the primary ballot. See Id.”

2. “In Hacker, the candidate also listed the different address on his nomination petitions, as was the case here. This Court presently expresses no opinion as to the merits of the Hacker decision, since Appellees have not questioned its validity; our present order is based solely upon Hacker’s status as prevailing precedent of the Commonwealth Court.”
