Lazar v. Ganim

Summary

The court held that the appeal was not moot because, if the primary results were invalidated, the court could require a new general election. It affirmed dismissal of the electors’ challenge based on an election official’s ruling because they alleged only a generalized injury shared by all voters. It also held that the plaintiffs failed to show substantial violations that placed the reliability of the primary result seriously in doubt, so a new primary was not warranted.
