Practice question
A candidate invokes Limbona to claim that every withdrawal case must always continue, even when no later candidacy, collateral liability or other live controversy remains. Another argues that withdrawal always requires dismissal despite a later substitute COC. Which position accurately captures the case?
- The first categorical claim is correct.
- The second categorical claim is correct.
- Neither categorical claim is sound; Limbona examined an actual continuing qualifications controversy after the later filing.
- Both categorical claims are simultaneously correct.
- Mootness depends only on the cost of campaign posters.
