"Senator to stay on Louisiana ballot" Associated Press   September 06, 2014

BATON ROUGE, La. — US Senator Mary Landrieu will remain on the Nov. 4 ballot in Louisiana after a state judge dismissed a lawsuit Friday that had claimed that the Democrat was not qualified to run for reelection because she lives full-time in Washington.

District Judge Wilson Fields ruled that Republican state Representative Paul Hollis’s lawsuit claiming that the three-term senator didn’t meet residency qualifications was premature. He did not make a decision on whether Landrieu lives in Louisiana.

The US Constitution says a senator must be an inhabitant of the state he or she represents at the time of the election. The judge said that means a challenge could be filed only after a winner is chosen by voters, in either the Nov. 4 election or the Dec. 6 runoff.
