Description
Ruth Speer, plaintiff herein, resides in the City of Oregon, Ohio, and has so resided since July 1986. Speer moved from California to Oregon, Ohio. She sought to have her name placed on the ballot for the September 1987 election as a candidate for the City of Oregon City Council. The Lucas County Board of Elections, which had jurisdiction over this election, refused to allow her name to be placed on the ballot because of the two year residency requirement contained in the City of Oregons City Charter, Art. III § 2. Speer promptly filed suit in district court, alleging that the two year residency requirement violated her rights to freedom of expression, to freedom of association, and to travel under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Speer also sought declaratory relief and preliminary and permanent injunctions with respect to defendants refusal to put her name on the ballot. The district court heard the case under Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2) and found that the residency requirement did not violate Speers constitutional rights.
