Can a member sue an HOA to remove a property manager?

I decided to run for president of my HOA mainly to rid us of the current property manager who is committing improper acts to profit off of our HOA. When I asked to be added to the ballot, the property manager sent back a felony complaint against me from 2001 for assault with a deadly weapon. The felony charge was eventually dismissed. The property manager has sent out the case file to an unknown numbers of members and our insurer to avoid me from being elected. The case file is not public record but was obtained unlawfully by the property manager's attorney without my knowledge or consent. Is this good grounds to sue the HOA for the property manager's removal since he has altered the election using unlawful means?
