FLINT, Mich. (AP) State election officials took the wrong path in trying to keep a Genesee County judicial candidate off the 2020 ballot, the Michigan Court of Appeals said.
A Flint business address at the top of a nominating petition, instead of a Grand Blanc home address, didn t spoil the signatures gathered by B. Chris Christenson, the appeals court said Thursday.
The court affirmed a decision by the Court of Claims.
Christenson sued last summer to get on the August primary ballot after the Board of State Canvassers said he didn t qualify because of the address. The board acted on the recommendation of state election officials.

Attorneys are asking a judge to set aside nearly a third of the proposed $641 million civil settlement tied to the Flint water crisis for lawyer fees.
They made the request in a court filing this week.
The State of Michigan and the city of Flint, along with a Flint engineering firm and a Flint hospital, agreed to put up the money as part of an agreement to settle legal damage claims tied to the city’s water crisis.
Created by the ill-fated decision to switch the city of Flint drinking water source in 2014 as a way to save the city money, the water crisis exposed the city’s nearly 100,000 residents to drinking water contaminated with lead and other contaminants. During the same period, a Legionnaires disease outbreak killed at least a dozen people in Genesee County.
