Numerous courts have since adopted and applied the Clements balancing test to uphold similar resign-to-run provisions, generally concluding that the state’s interests substantially outweighed the limited impact on office seekers forced to run for one office at a time. See, e.g., Joyner v.

Michigan, 142 F. Supp. 2d 806, 815 (E.D. Mich. 2000) (<HOLDING>); Fasi v. Cayetano, 752 F. Supp. 942, 946-54
