Indian candidate remains on ballot in Arizona
The Arizona Supreme Court refused to take an Indian candidate off the ballot for the state Legislature.

State Sen. Albert Hale (D), a member of the Navajo Nation, is running for re-election. His nominating petition includes post office boxes from tribal members who live on the reservation.

Republican Royce Jenkins claims the P.O. boxes are invalid. He says petitions must list a person's physical address but lost his case in the state courts.
