McDERMOTT, Justice,
dissenting.
The affidavit here was defective. The affidavit to the petition is to protect the integrity of the election process. The argument that the candidate was not prejudiced is irrelevant to that consideration. See Citizens Committee to Recall Rizzo v. Board of Elections of Philadelphia, 470 Pa. 1, 367 A.2d 232 (1976); In Re Nomination Petition of Cianfrani, 467 Pa. 491, 359 A.2d 383 (1976).
LARSEN, J., joins this dissenting opinion.
