Cassar v. Vu CA4/1
As a candidate for the San Diego County Board of Education in the 2016 elections, Mark Wyland sought to change his ballot designation from "President Education Nonprofit" in the primary elections to "Education Foundation President" in the general elections. Taxpayer Richard Cassar brought an action in the superior court successfully challenging the proposed designation as not being Wyland's "principal profession, vocation, or occupation" at the time of the request nor in the "calendar year immediately preceding" the request. (Elec. Code, § 13107, subd. (a)(3).) Wyland then requested "Educator" as his ballot designation, which Cassar unsuccessfully challenged on the same grounds via an emergency ex parte motion. Now, more than a year after the election, Cassar seeks to pursue an appeal from the summary denial of his request for ex parte relief.
